Recall that there have been speculations that Ortom and other governors elected under the platform of the PDP were making moves to join the ruling party.

But Ortom, while answering questions bothering on alleged plan to dump the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, said APC has completely destroyed the country.
