Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi state at the  weekend,  vowed to leave Nigeria if Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State eventually becomes the President of Nigeria.

Saying that,  Wike is a lawyer that doesn’t know law and therefore, urged Nigerians to support Igbo Presidency for the sake of equity and Justice adding that Nigeria needs a man that will restore the dignity and  lost glory of this country.

Governor Umahi who stated this during the burial ceremony of the former chairman of Ohaozara local government area of Ebonyi state, Late Onyiba Dandy Igwe Omoke said governor Wike is talking like a child by telling him to resign before contesting for presidency stating that if Wike becomes the President of Nigeria through manipulation, he will leave Nigeria because Wike will Sell Nigeria out saying that he is a lawyer who doesn’t know law challenging him to come for open debate.

“I am happy that my brother Wike came to Ebonyi yesterday; he came into the new city of Dubai.

“He said if i think I am popular, I should resign. Why should I resign, he is just talking like a child. I am calling him to come for debate with me. I want to be president, I want to be President, let us to deploy our intellect capacity test.

“If by any manipulation he becomes President, I will pack my things the next day and leave Nigeria because I am imagining how Nigeria will be; It will be purchase, purchase throughout. A man that compromises every sector.

“I am very much happy, how I wish he told me, I would have welcomed him into our Government House so that he will use his eyes to see what we have done.

“I am sure he passed through Sam Egwu flyover and see what a flyover looks like. He is a lawyer who doesn’t know law” he added.

Governor Umahi also stated that it is his achievements in Ebonyi state that will give APC landslide victory come 2023 general elections and therefore called on all  Nigerians to support Igbo Presidency for the sake of Justice, equity and fairness adding that Igbos has all it takes to pilot the affairs.
