Obi: South East Was Never Consulted-umahi by Dunaetamacce(f): 12:31am On Oct 13, 2018
The Chairman of the South East Governors Forum and governor of Ebonyi State, Chief David Umahi has expressed shock over the choice of former governor of Anambra State, Mr Peter Obi as the running mate to the presidential candidate of PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubarkar without consulting with the leaders of the zone.

Umahi said the earlier statement quoting him as congratulating Peter Obi was never with his knowledge and dissociated himself from the statement, saying that the position of the entire South East zone has always been that any position zoned to the South East must be deliberated upon by the leaders of the zone.

He said in the case of the appointment of Mr. Obi as Atiku's running mate, neither the governors, nor Igbo leaders were consulted, a situation he said was a great departure from the earlier agreement.

The governor appologized to Nigerians and Ndigbo for the statement, adding that his Chief Press Secretary acted without his knowledge and wish to state categorically that he has nothing personally against Peter Obi or any other person emerging as the running mate to the presidential candidate of PDP.

He said that any position zoned to Ndigbo must be discussed and agreement reached so that the right thing is done in line with the perculiar nature of Igbo politics and their quest for politics of inclusiveness.

Which Igbo leaders?

We the people are happy with Atiku's choice.

Leaving the decision for you would lead to having various factions with the outcome being inconclusive or parallel candidate.

Ordinary marriage most Anambra families no go let their sons marry IMO girl and vice versa e come be to choose Atiku running mate ..hian..ko le werk.

The masses against Buhari are in support you better get atikulated
