RMD Refutes Claims Of Him Joining The Apc

The entire online community was agog with news that Nollywood actor turned-politician, Richard Mofe-Damijo (RMD) had joined the massive number of decampees from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressive Congress. The politician has come out to straighten the records.

In his defensive response, while making reference to an online media outfit asking him if he had cross-carpeted from his party to the APC, the actor explained that if he was going to decamp to another party, he would be straight forward with the news.

Setting the records straight, RMD stressed that he only hosted his friend, Olorogun O'tega Emerhor, in his community where they rubbed minds together on some issues.

"A text message called my attention to the rumour that I have decamped to APC. For the records, I hosted my brother and friend Olorogun O'tega Emerhor at my country home during his visit to my community where we discussed personal and political matters," he explained

"I therefore humbly state that till this moment, I, Richard Eyimofe Damijo, have not defected to APC and assure you that if I do, I will be forthright with the information. I also request that my sincere response be the first point of reference to the question has RMD defected to APC," he said.

RMD became the Commissioner for Culture and Tourism in Delta State, Nigeria in 2009 and has remained a member of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP ever since.
