Earlier, while speaking in his country home, in Burma, Isiala Mbano Local Government Area of the state, on Tuesday, Ohakim said, “those who will bury me have asked me to join the APC.”

Ohakim said, “I have a unique orientation in participatory politics that emphasizes common interest as against personal interest. It was on record that in 1998, against the pull of the tide, many people were surprised when I refused to line behind APP which was considered the party of the movers and shakers of the state then and joined the PDP.
