The leadership of the Princewill Political   Associate (PPA), a political pressure group in Rivers state, has denied that one Mr Norisia Pepple was never a member of the group.

The group in a statement  signed by its publicity secretary, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze on Wednesday, explained that Mr Norisia Pepple was once the youth leader of the defunct Action Congress (AC) in Rivers State but was not accepted into PPA due to his alleged mischievous character.

Chief Eze in the statement noted that Mr Pepple was allegedly known for greed and extortion which disqualified him to become a member of the group and was never the youth leader of the body as he claimed.

The statement, however, urged Rivers people to disregard claims of Mr Pepple who may have been allegedly paid to tarnish the reputation of Prince Tonye Princewill and PPA in Rivers State.
