The Governor described the reports as not only false but a &#8220;figment of the imagination of the peddlers.&#8221; A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Charles Ajunwa stated that the Governor as a democrat, who believes in justice and equity had at no time endorsed anyone for the 2015 governorship position. Mr. Ajunwa asserted that as a father of the state, the Governor reserves the right to give fatherly advice to whoever comes to him. He said the governor believes that his advice will help such persons to do well politically. It would be recalled that the governor had on many occasions stated publicly that the choice of whoever will emerge as the party\u2019s gubernatorial flag bearer in 2015 will be decided by all the stakeholders in the state.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abia State Governor, Chief T.A Orji has refuted media reports that he has endorsed a Governorship candidate ahead of the 2015 elections.
