The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abia State has said the registration of a former speaker of the House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Chinedum Orji who joined the party on Tuesday followed normal procedure.
The defection of the immediate past speaker who is the son of a former governor of the state, Senator Theodore Orji, came in the wake of defections that has hit the former ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Speaking on the new development, the acting organising secretary of the chapter, Mr Nnadozie Uruakpa, stated that every procedure on membership registration was duly followed in admitting the former speaker into the party.
Uruakpa said reports purporting that Orji’s registration was faulty were based on the wrong notion that he was registered at the state secretariat of the chapter.
