The Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi has revealed why he frowned at the process leading to the choice of Peter Obi as the running mate to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

Umahi explained that he was dissatisfied with the process that led to Obi’s selection.

Addressing reporters in Abujain Abakaliki, the state capital, Umahi said he was only against the process and not the competence of the former Anambra State Governor.

According to Umahi, “How can people from other regions will meet and take decisions that concern the South-east without the input of a single person from the region.

“We have never said that we are against Peter Obi; but what we have said is that, if six people can come together from five other regions and look at recommendations for the South-east and no South-east person is there, that is not good for us.

“We have never said that Obi is not good for us, we have nothing against Obi. But we want when decisions that concern us are being taken, we want to be part of that decision.”

Umahi also faulted what he termed the ‘imbalance’ in the initial five-member shortlist of persons considered for the Vice President slot which he said “had no person from Imo and Ebonyi States on it.”

He said, “Number two, the five names submitted, of course, no governors in South-east wants to be vice president; everybody wants to finish his tenure. The five names for VP should have been five names from the five South-east states; but there was no name from Ebonyi and Imo states.

“I am a fighter of marginalisation of Ebonyi people. If we are going to vote, we must be treated with equity. These are the issues; two names came from Anambra, one from Enugu and two from Abia. So, what is wrong in having someone from Ebonyi and then one from Imo?”

Mtcheew.

Even the ebonyi should be carved into north central.

Rubbish.

This man and Ayade are not tired of duping the dullard. That's how Ayade promised the LIFELESS defection and got so much cash and appointments for Cross Rivers. Now Umahi wants his final share.

His explanations were making sense until I saw this.

This is exactly what might come to play if Biafra comes, crying for little things, struggling and fighting for power instead of uniting to achieve a helpful positive goal.

If South Southerners and Some South Westerners scan support Peter Obi who's not from their region to run with Atiku Abubakar, why then should a governor of a South Eastern state cry over something that should be neglected.

So pathetic and shameful.

The word "UNITY" is the major problem of South Eastern politicians, and if they don't look into it, they'll not excel politically in this country.

Gidi gidi bụ ugwu eze---Unity is strength.

Wawuuuuuuu, savagery!. lmaooooo.
Emeka IHedioha is the most qualified for that vp nomination in IMO, but unfortunately he is running for governor and again he is a tambuwal guy. Ebonyi voted saraki and tambuwal, so dont blame d selection.

Anambra supremacists

Igbos are united my foot.

Someone is fighting for equal playing ground for all states in the region meanwhile you want to dominate.

Anambra the North of SE. Always pushing sister states down to dominate.

Don't worry, Buhari will grant you the request and carve them into North central and you'll have lesser representatives in Senate and house of reps, let's see how pro-igbo bills will pass first reading.

Lalasticlala

This guy should just say he wants to be VP

next he will wonder why it was not zoned to Umahi household

this man sef, always playing victims card. what has ebonyi got to do with VP.
Before peter Obi was nominated, they were widely speculated nominees- okonjo, Obi, soludo and others, he and his cohorts did say anything then, so they should hold their peace forever

Comment looks like that of a funnicator.
And ur mind aligns with that of umahi but unfortunately for him his voice can never be heard.

It must be subdued by any means possible. His voice breeds disunity to greater igbos and I wonder why he will still be retained as igbo.

Him and his subjects should be pigeonholed accordingly as arewa....no two ways about it.

On a greater note even ur senators and reps members has not supported any igbo project in national assembly....

So their irrelevance is equals to them to be shipped to north central.

Finally on ur allegations against anambra....i reserve that for another day coz is baseless annd holds no truth.
