Gov. David Umahi of Ebonyi has assured that President Muhammadu Buhari would be welcomed to the state by at least 2000 members of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.

Umahi has also
allowed the All Progressives Congress (APC) to use the Pa Ngele Oruta
stadium, Abakaliki for the party’s presidential rally on Jan.30.

He
disclosed this on Friday at Ugbodo, headquarters of Ebonyi Local
Government Area, during the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship
rally.

He said the President would be accorded all necessary courtesy.

“We
would take our rallies on that day to our three senatorial zones while
we allow them (APC) to use the stadium,” the governor said.

He sought the permission of the PDP supporters to allow some members to be at the stadium to receive President Buhari.

“At least, 2, 000 PDP members would receive the President at the stadium while you go about your rallies in your various zones.

“I
have identified those who will receive the President; so, when you see
our people at the stadium, don’t be angry, because it is my arrangement.

“We would even help them (opposition) with buses to get people from Enugu and Abia,” he said.

He
thanked the people for the support for his administration and pledged
to deliver more dividends of democracy such as infrastructure and health
care services, if re-elected.

“I urge our party supporters not
to destroy posters of the opposition party because we have the crowd and
are on ground,” Umahi said.

Sen. Sam Egwu (PDP—Ebonyi North)
said the large turnout of people at the event was an indication that
people have accepted the governor.

Egwu, who is the first
civilian governor of the state, noted that Ebonyi had been a peaceful
state and should remain so before, during and after the elections,” he
said.

Chief Goddy Ogbaga, Former Minister of State for Power, who
hails from the area, commended the governor for his numerous
infrastructure provisions to the people.

“We also thank you for
appointing our people into strategic government positions and have
resolved to reciprocate these gestures by voting massively for you and
all PDP candidates at the elections,” he said. (NAN)
