Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State has dispelled rumours making the rounds that he has plans to defect to the APC.
Governor Umahi stated yesterday at the government house, Abakaliki while briefing journalists, that he could not join APC with the kind of “failed leaders (it has) in Ebonyi State.”
According to him, he had benefited immensely from being the state chairman of the party, then deputy governor, and ultimately state governor.
He said he was focusing on how to attract democratic dividends to the people of the state and not dirty politics.
“The clarification is that my relationship with Mr. President is because he is Mr. President, and he is my boss and the relationship is personal.
“Mr. President or any APC person has never asked me to come to APC, and they will never ask me, and there is no reason for me to leave my party, PDP,” he said.
