The National Publicity Secretary explained that it would be more honourable if members of the coalition movement remain in their respective political parties to make them more formidable and stronger.
Arabambi frowned at Obi’s decision to belong to two different political parties at the same time, saying it is contrary to the laws and tenets of the party.
