David Umahi, governor of Ebonyi
state, has directed at least 2000 members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
in the state to welcome President Muhammadu Buhari who will campaign in Ebonyi
on Wednesday.
Umahi, a PDP governor, has also
allowed the All Progressives Congress (APC) to use the Pa Ngele Oruta stadium, Abakaliki,
for the party’s presidential rally.
He said the president would be
accorded all necessary courtesy.
According to NAN, he disclosed
this at the PDP governorship rally in Ugbodo, headquarters of Ebonyi local
government area, on Friday.
“We would take our rallies on
that day to our three senatorial zones while we allow them (APC) to use the
stadium,” the governor was quoted to have said.
“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 thanked the people for the
support for his administration and pledged to do more 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.
The governor had endorsed Buhari
even before the president made his reelection bid public.
