Umahi’s Defection Destroyed PDP — Ebonyi APC Chairman 

The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress in Ebonyi State, Chief Stanley Okoro-Emegha, has described the relentless attacks on Governor David Umahi as a sign of frustration and the greatest nightmare of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state.

Okoro-Emegha stated this while reacting to the PDP’s recent attacks on Umahi.

According to him, the PDP had no clue on how to play the opposition, real reason Governor Umahi, was the centre of its factional state Executive Committee meeting held on Friday.

He said, “It is most pathetic that Ebonyi PDP hardly gathers anywhere without mentioning the name of the Governor of Ebonyi State, David Nweze Umahi. And this is a clear indication that they have been suffering and feeling the exit of Governor Umahi from their evil enclave. I laughed at them when I read online the invectives spewed on the governor by a baby factional Chairman of the PDP in Ebonyi, Mr Toochukwu Okorie, during the meeting.

“The accusation of running a cruel and brutish government is baseless as Governor Umahi is the most democratic governor in the country. His empathetic, humane and altruistic nature have endeared him to many. For instance, he won the best performing governor’s award in 2019 from SUN Newspaper. He also won the 2019 Human Rights Award, just to mention but a few.

“I appreciate the PDP for acknowledging that they are deeply troubled by the governor’s exit from their party. I wonder how the same party will win the 2023 election in Ebonyi State. My party’s accomplishments from 2015 to date have already forced them into extinction.”
