His Chief of Staff, Chief Nnamdi Anyaehie was the State Chairman of his own faction of the PDP in the State. The man he gave Adams Oshiomole to be made the Chairman of the caretaker committee of APC, Chief Marcellinus Nlemigbo, was one time Chairman of PDP in the State” part of the statement reads.”
