The Governor of Ebonyi State, David Umahi, has asserted that
defections by state governors into the All Progressive Congress do not pose any
threat to his presidential ambition in the party.
Umahi made this known on Monday during an interview on
Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme monitored by our correspondent.
He said, “I will feel happy rather than being threatened. My
ambition is in the hand of God.
“The more we have governors in the APC, the more chance we
have to win the election. The more chance we have to continue the project of
Nigeria from where Mr President will leave it by 2023.”
Umahi, who doubles
as the Chairman of the South-East Governors’ Forum, had informed the President, Muhammadu Buhari, of his intention to run for President
in 2023.
Umahi has also been at the forefront of demanding for Igbo
Presidency. He explained in the past that one of the reasons he left the
Peoples Democratic Party for the APC, was that the PDP did not consider zoning
the Presidency to the South-East geopolitical zone.
