BALTIMORE, MD (AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The Ebonyi State Governor, Chief Eng. David Nweze Umahi, has again denied media reports that he was planning to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the ruling Progressive Congress (APC).

Governor Umahi was reacting to the speculations in the media that he was set to move to the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC). He spoke when the leadership of the Abakpa Main Market Traders Association, visited him on Thursday at the Government House in Abakaliki.

His words: “When I said publicly that Ebonyi people will support Mr. President, they said, we have moved to the APC. PDP remains our party and will remain our party.

“But we need help and the way to get it is not to start castigating the President and no governor should castigate the President. Opposition belongs to the political parties.”

On the increasing wave of the activities of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Governor Umahi stated that the South-East governors had listened to the complaints of the IPOB agitators and had decided to discuss them with the President.

“We have listened to the complaints of the boys. There is no way anybody could say that what they are saying is completely outside the truth, but just like husband and wife, you must have a way of getting along through dialogue.” the governor said.
