The Peoples Democratic Party Governors’ Forum (PDP-GF) has
accused Dave Umahi, Ebonyi state governor, of sabotaging the party in the 2019
elections.
Umahi, who left the PDP for the All Progressives Congress
(APC) in 2020, had recently given his take on the 2023 presidency zoning
controversy in the opposition party.
The Ebonyi governor said in spite of the southern governors’
resolution that the region must produce the next president, some PDP governors
are not on board with the agreement.
Reacting in a statement issued on Saturday, C.I.D Maduabum,
director-general of PDP-GF, advised Umahi to leave the PDP alone and “face his
frustrations” in the APC.
The statement reads: “We advise Governor Umahi to face his
frustrations in APC and not drag PDP and her governors into it. PDP is an
independent political party with workable structures and methods of doing
things. It’s not an appendage of the APC or indeed any other association or
group.
“The PDP will take its decision on the issue of zoning
political offices at the appropriate time. Even the APC has not taken any
decision yet on zoning. Different groups and interests are advancing arguments
to defend their positions as is required in a democracy. At the end of the day,
decisions will be taken by each political party.
“Governor Umahi left PDP for APC, according to him, because
of the love he has for President Buhari, among other flimsy reasons,
irrespective of the maladministration and daily incidents of destruction of
lives and properties currently going on in Ebonyi State and the entire country
under the watch of APC
“Governor Umahi sabotaged the PDP in 2019 elections in his
quest to deliver 25 per cent to his APC benefactors. It took the determined
resistance of Ebonyi people to checkmate him. It was good riddance that he
subsequently left PDP for APC instead of continuing his role as an APC mole.
“The PDP is single-minded in its resolve to boot out the APC
in 2023 and would craft strategies to achieve same in the national interest as
APC currently represents an existential threat to Nigeria’s democracy and its
survival. Indeed all Nigerians have a duty and responsibility to end this long
nightmare of APC misrule.”
Maduabum said the PDP is determined to regain power from the
APC in the national interest and survival of Nigeria’s democracy.
