Adoki also refuted reports of him turning his back on the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, to work for the state Governor, Sim Fubara.
Addressing journalists in Port Harcourt, Adoki insisted that his allegiance still lies with Wike.
He said: “For the sake of my constituents, and my colleagues, who are so dear to me, I want to make it clear that there was no day and at no time will I ever want to rescind my decision.
“I stand here as I speak with you as a bona-fide and full member of the All Progressives Congress.
“I was among the two persons who came up with this decision in moving to the APC because of the oppression and division in our former party.”
