Spokes person for Governor Orji is yet to respond enquiry on the issue.
Further digs by societynowng.com revealed that another powerful politician in state, Orji Uzor Kalu – the estranged godfather of Governor Theodore Orji is set to battle a fresh controversy.
Insiders claimed their is an ongoing plot to flood streets in different parts of the country with campaign posters proclaiming his presidential ambition for 2015.
The former Governor just returned to the fold of the ruling People’s Democratic Party ( PDP), and if this development comes to pass- it would put him at logger heads with the party hierarchy.
Before his return, strife over moves to force President Jonathan Goodluck not to seek re election and appropriate candidate to take over has been ravaging the PDP.
The former patron of the Progressive Peoples Alliance (PPA) would be drawn into the mix should his campaign posters hit town.
Sources claim Kalu is striving to forestall the impending development.
An aide of the former state helmsman responded to the development labelling the alleged plotters as ‘ miscreants’ while insisting ‘ Dr Kalu has not declared any intention to contest the 2015 election,neither has he mandated anybody to paste posters on his behalf’
