Gov Umahi vows not to return to PDP

Gov. David Umahi of Ebonyi has described as unfounded reports linking him to a possible return to the People’s Democratic Party, PDP.

According to the Ebonyi Governor, PDP is like Egypt which he has no intention to return to let alone beg to be readmitted.

Umahi made the remark during the 2021 Special Thanksgiving Service of Government House Chapel in Abakaliki on Sunday.

The Governor, who described PDP as “Egypt”, repeated that he won’t return to the party.

“With all these enormous achievements I have made under the All Progressive Congress (APC); what will make me to go back to Egypt, called PDP?

“For that, I pray that God will never forgive the person who initiated the fake news that I have plans to go back to PDP,” he stated.

On the thanksgiving Service, the Governor said that it was good to give thanks to God as a state and country at large.

“It’s good to be grateful to God for His blessings to us as state and the country at large. As state, we have come first in several ways and we give Him the praises.

“Learn how to give good gift to God and it’s by thanksgiving that we can be blessed,” Umahi said.

A little over a year ago, Gov Umahi said he opted to join the All Progressive Congress (APC) because of the “injustice meted to South-East by the People Democratic Party (PDP)” which include not zoning the party’s 2023 presidential ticket to the zone.

He added that the ruling party was better disposed to the interest of the five states in the region, stating that he neither had presidential ambition nor was he promised by anyone.
