Ebonyi State Governor, Dave Umahi, on Tuesday, said no matter his near relationship with President Muhammadu Buhari, he “can by no means” join a celebration just like the president’s All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking all through a press briefing in Abaliki, the Ebonyi State capital, Governor Umahi dismissed media reports that he had defected to the APC.
“They stated I even have decamped to the All Progressives Congress (APC). This is laughable and the question is that why are people so much interested in my politics?” the governor queried.
Umahi clarified that despite the fact that he maintains a personal relationship with President Buhari, he could never join the APC with the sort of leaders the celebration houses in the nation.
He stated, “The explanation is that my dating with Mr President is because Mr President is my boss and the relationship is non-public. Mr President or any APC character has in no way requested me to come back over to the APC and they'll never ask. There isn't any motive for me to depart my celebration the PDP of which I become the celebration chairman, deputy governor and now governor. I actually have continually insisted on individual. People that jump from one party to the other ought to look at their characters unless if there may be any trouble within your birthday celebration.
“As at today and tomorrow, and until Christ comes there will be no disaster in PDP. So, there may be no purpose for me to go away the PDP or even if there had been crisis in PDP and there is the want for me to leave PDP, I can by no means leave PDP to the form of APC in Ebonyi State. With the kind of leader (now not they all however most of them) in Ebonyi State that have failed the country woefully. So I can by no means be on the same political platform with them. This is very key and lots a truth for us to recognise.
“So, I am centered in doing my task, I am focused in governance and I even have constantly insisted that we need to depart birthday celebration politics to our birthday celebration women and men. As soon as you're elected you need to cognizance on your process. I am not but into politics of re-election and the fever this is gripping from day one is the fever of transport on the dividends of democracy. So they ought to depart me by myself with their grimy celebration politics due to the fact I am centered, I am a PDP member and I actually have benefited with the aid of privileges the platform of PDP has afforded me to be a celebration chairman, to be a deputy governor and to be a governor,” the governor introduced.
