Deputy Director, Fundraising Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Tein T.S Jack Rich, has denied any plan to join the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
He said the rumour was “patent falsehood” by people who do not mean well for the country.
Jack Rich insisted he was with the APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
“The rumours are nothing short of patent falsehood and a desperate attempt to cause distraction” his media assistant, Mr. Obinna Simon, said in a statement.
According to him, Jack Rich only honoured a birthday invitation of a dear friend and Niger delta brother Timi Frank while vacationing with his family.
He noted that the event also had other PDP and APC members in attendance.
He said it was not a political gathering and had nothing to do with politics.
