In what many have termed “somersault of ideology” the Governor of Ebonyi State, Engr. Dave Umahi has dropped his presidential ambition for the president of the Senate, Ahmed Lawan.
This is contrary to the position of the Governor in November 2020 when he dumbed the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP for the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
Umahi had while Justifying his political decision said: “I offered this movement as a protest to injustice being done to South-east by the PDP. Since 1999, the South-east have supported the PDP. At a time the five states were all PDP. One of the founding members of the PDP was from South-east, the late former Vice President, Alex Ekwueme.
“It is absurd that since 1999 going to 2023, the South-east will never be considered to run for presidency under the PDP. And this is my position and will continue to be my position. It had nothing to do with me or my ambition.”
However, less than 72 hours to APC Presidential Primaries, the same Umahi who left PDP because they refused to zone their ticket to South East has stepped down for a Northerner.
Umahi reportedly took the decision after meeting with Ahmed earlier today.
According to report by ARISE TV, Umahi says he is backing Lawan for the ticket of the APC.
Umahi is a toad politically. A shameless shameful simpleton. He has not even seen that the north he is now supporting in APC will settle for a southern minion like Amaechi in order for northern block vote to go to Atiku the northern Fulani Sokoto that fulani wins and continue to rule Nigeria for the next 8 yrs back-to-back. Maybe he Umahi is supporting Lawan after Lawan and north promised to pay him his 100m naira money he spent on nomination form, that’s all. That’s what a shameless shameful simpleton normally does unfortunately.
