18 Nov Umahi Confirms Defection to APC, Explains Decision
Ebonyi State governor, David Umahi has confirmed his defection to the All Progressive Congress (APC).
Speaking to journalists in Abakaliki, he said he defected because of injustice the South-East has suffered from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
Insisting that he would continue to agitate for the interest of the South East in or out of office, he said that he has no deal with the APC or any member of the party with regards to zoning of the presidential position to the south-east.
Governor Umahi added that he has decided to become the sacrificial lamb that would be crucified for the interest and good of the South East as a zone.
“Let me clear the air and state that I never sort for the ticket of PDP Presidency and I will not. Whoever that said that I moved to APC because they refused to zone the ticket to me is being very mischievous. Because even if PDP promises me, an individual a presidential ticket, how does it work?”
He said he might quit politics in 2023 said that he has not yet declared interest for the office of the Presidency and would support any candidate from the zone for the exalted position.
