Group Cautions, Urges Umahi To Come Clean On Senatorial Ambition

A group, Ebonyi Democrats, has called on the Governor of Ebonyi State, Engr David Umahi, to come out clean on his Senatorial ambition. The group stated this in a press statement released today, Tuesday 17th May, 2022. 

In the statement, which was signed by its 30-man Executive Working Committee, the group stated that it was becoming worried over the numerous reports which has been consistent and without a robust refutation from the neccesary quarters, had alleged that Governor Umahi had also picked the forms for Senate while also contesting for the Presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

The group wondered why Umahi was engaged in a hide and seek game, seeking two positions which the electoral act naturally frowns at.

They urged Umahi to focus on his Presidential ambition as double speaking could be tantamount to reducing the chances of Ndigbo producing a President of Igbo extraction.

“We hereby call on Governor David Umahi to focus on his Presidential ambition, which he had initially signified his interest to contest for. Such double speaking that he is now presently eying the Senate much portrays him as politically unstable and could possibly dent the chances of NdiIgbo producing a President of Nigeria.”

“As a matter of fact, Umahi should concentrate on convincing the delegates of the APC on why he is the best man for job and come out to disassociate himself from such a less vaunting ambition.”

The group expressed its readiness to  campaign for Umahi’s Presidential ambition but would readily campaign against him should he betray their trust.
