Following several propaganda from different sources stating that the Ebonyi State Governor, Dave Umahi does not support the PDP’s Atiku Abubakar in his presidential bid, the Governor has come out to tell off mischief makers. He stated in his declaration at the PDP presidential rally in Ebonyi State, that the PDP is Ebonyi and Ebonyi is PDP, 100%.
In
his speech with the Ebonyi State Traditional Rulers, he announced, “Let
nobody be deceived. Ebonyi State is totally PDP and that is beyond any
compromise. President Buhari is my personal friend and a sitting
president. But that does not extend to politics. I am a man of honor. We
will deliver this state totally to PDP in the coming elections.”
Umahi
told mischief makers to go and deliver their states and stop worrying
about Ebonyi State. The DG of the PDP Presidential campaign who was
present, praised Umahi as a working governor and danced with him, while
saying clearly that the PDP will continue to favor Ebonyi State no
matter what. The PDP National Chairman stated that with the crowd
available, it is clear that the PDP’s headquarters is in Ebonyi.
The
massive crowd which is speculated to be in the hundreds of thousands,
spilling into the streets, was said to be the biggest so far, even
bigger than the much talked about Kaduna rally. Atiku Abubakar promised
quality projects for the people of Ebonyi and counted on their votes.
Peter Obi who is the VP candidate, could not be allowed to speak because
of the praises the crowd had for him as they kept on chanting; “Okwute
ndi Igbo.”
