The  Governor of Ebonyi State, Engineer Apostle  David Umahi has described as fake the rumors circulating on the cyber space that he stepped down his presidential ambition for Senatorial position. The rumour which has been circulating mostly in Southeast region has it  that Umahi who is one of the leading Presidential candidates has dropped his presidential ambition to run for Ebonyi South Senatorial election in Ebonyi South zone.
The Commissioner for Information and State Orientation, Barr. Uchenna Orji  while briefing newsmen on Tuesday, described the rumour as fake, stating  that it is the handiwork of the opposition party to tarnish they image and good reputation of the state.
“Our attention has been drawn to a senseless falsehood being irresponsibly shared on social media platforms by opposition forces and mischievous minds who are idly making mendacious propaganda against the Presidential ambition of the Governor of Ebonyi State Chief David Umahi.
“Contrary to their cowardly fabrications against the well thought and nationally accepted Presidential ambition of Governor Umahi, we restate for the pleasure of progressive Nigerians home and in diaspora, that the falsehood trending currently on Social Media that Governor Umahi has dropped his ambition for Senate.
“This is nothing but empty and vaunting architecture of political charlatans who are intimidated by the tall and admirable hallmarks of leadership excellence recorded by Governor Umahi and which has put him forward as a frontline Presidential material that can win the hearts of Nigerians in 2023 General Election.
“Governor Umahi’s Presidential ambition is unwavering and is alive in the hearts of Nigerians. We advise the opposition forces and their agents to desist from all these fruitless and bizarre orchestrations against God’s servant and accomplished leader, for that is bringing more ostracism to their own organisms. 
“We assure them that no matter the secrecy and potency of their plots, God will bring it to nought as we come in the name of God,” he stated.
