PDP Will Collapse If I Decamp To APC – Ebonyi Gov ,Umahi says
has claimed that if he defects from
the Peoples Democratic Party to the
All Progressives Congress, APC, the
party would collapse.
Umahi noted that anybody having
such thoughts about his defection “is
just dreaming”, because he
remained one of the strong pillars
holding the PDP.
Speaking through the State
Commissioner for Information and
Orientation, Senator Emmanuel
Onwe, the governor maintained that
the media speculations that was
planning to pitch his tent with the
ruling party was the figment of the
imagination of rumour mongers.
Onwe said, “There have been
speculations as to whether the
Governor of Ebonyi State is moving
to the APC or whether he is
remaining in PDP, and who is going
with him and who is not going with
him.
“I want to address this matter
hopefully once and for all, for all
Nigerians to understand that
Governor Umahi is one of the centre
pillars of the PDP. And I say that
with a very deep conviction from
my soul.
“This is a party on whose platform
he has been the state Chairman for
four years, a party on whose
platform he was the deputy
governor for four years and now,
governor hopefully for eight years.
“And anyone speculating about his
commitment or his strength, or his
role within the party or any doubt at
all about whether he is remaining or
decamping, is just dreaming.”
Onwe believed that Umahi’s
leadership style was one of the
qualities that would lead the PDP out
of its current challenges.
