Reacting to comments by former Abia State House of Assembly Speaker, Stanley Ohajuruka, that he was not welcomed to the All Progressives Congress (APC), Orji, who is now senator representing Abia Senatorial District, said: “I have no intention of jettisoning my relationship with the party, not now, not tomorrow.
