Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State has exonerated himself from a Social Media post trending online where it was alleged that he is working against Peter Obi’s Presidential ambition.
The governor said that such post is the handiwork of frustrated political jobbers as he did not in any way say that Peter Obi is going no where nor kicking against his ambition.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Secretary to the State Government, Dr. Kenneth Ugbala, which further noted that Umahi is a member of APC and will support the party in both state and national elections as a good party man.
`The attention of Ebonyi State government has been drawn to a social media post being recently in circulation and purported to have been authored by the hard working Governor of Ebonyi State by miserable and frustrated political jobbers.
“For the records, the Governor of Ebonyi State is not against His Excellency, Peter Obi for Presidency but infact deeply appreciates his courage in his campaign.
“His Excellency,Engr Umahi never said that Peter Obi is going no where and that he does not believe in Igbo Presidency.
“However, His Excellency David Nweze Umahi is a member of APC and shall support the party in all their state and national elections as a good party man.
“The Governor believes that most party members will defend their parties during elections and people will freely vote for candidates of their choice,” the statement said.
