Mouthpiece of the former president, Mr. Ikechukwu Eze, said the news of his principal porting to the APC was ‘Fake News’.
According to him, “The report is Fake News. If he (Jonathan) defects it would be announced through the proper channels.”
Mr. Eze maintained that his boss has not moved or considered moving to the ruling party.
“This is a man that’s very busy with other things”, he said.
