The Chairman of the South East Governors Forum and governor of Ebonyi State, Engr. David Nweze 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.

Eeey Yah

Umahi you were not consulted because you dont matter. DOnt tell me you thought you and Ikpeazu who never won his election or Okorocha that is busy installing his family are leaders..

You fools are not leaders, but rogues and cowards who dont even know how to steal very well like Atiku dem


Nonsense people

Haaa ..confusion in the mist of my enemies....

Say no to Atiku , Say no to PDP

Never again will armed bandit rule us in Nigeria

kahal29:
Hia..... It's too early nah

IGBOS don start again.
This time na EBONYI dey lead.
If Peter OBI had not been appointed, one cannot imagine what ANAMBRA would have done by now as well...

-python2

python2gbera:
It's high time all Ebonyians paid back Anambarians in their own coin.

-python2

Will you just shut up for christ sake?

With all due respect, Umahi is my governor.
One of the best governors in Nigeria currently.
But, with this position on Atiku's choice...He should should just go and sit down.

Umahi is not an igbo man to be consulted in the first place?

Who is Umahi and who made him spokesperson for SE?

If there is need for consultations Umahi and his ebonyi state people is the least in mind to even think of.


No wonder is always been said that ebonyi has buhari agenda in their blood.

Umahi whether na umaru should respect his life and go and have seat.


Imagine the idiot umahi

Consultation my foot.

sarrki:

You talk like a drunk sometimes .

Who is Umahi??
Wannabe Regional Leader or attention seeker?
Pls someone should tell this useless cargo to go find a deep spot in the bottom of the Lagoon.
Peter Obi was the best candidate of all the lot of Ibo people brandished for the VP slot.
By the way, this has always been my problem with the IBO people. they are not united or organized to get what they want. Selfish interests always suffice to scuttle their chances.
I am not Yoruba, am South south but i dare say I doubt if an Ibo man can ever be President of Nigeria. They themselves will scuttle the chance with their individual greed and selfishiness just as this Silly goat call Umahi is coming out to challenged to choice of Peter Obi as VP.
Ndi Ara.

Umahi is Buhari ass licker , no one takes him serious

afamaustin:

No he intelligently wants to distance himself from this because he knows it will fail.

He also knows that in 2023 SS will claim SE had VP zoned to it last election so they will demand Presidency zoned to them.

It sad how you people have been swindled. Atiku won't even win now. So you won't get VP and you will locked out of getting Presidency in 2023 because of Atiku selection.

Fake news as usual.

Reason well for once

NaijaRoyalty:

The highlighted is a recurring statement( bet the statement has its root buried deep in Ibo Lingua) anytime you guys don't align with someone's position... No one takes him serious but he beat people at primary & the statewide election to become governor.... He isn't reckoned with for real, clown you are .

Who actually told you guys they will be power shift in 2023 or that the two major political parties will be presenting only southern candidates? You guys joke too much. southerners should forget the presidency as it won't be coming anytime soon

Umaru or umahi pls don't divide the SE. The masses were consulted. Obi is the right man.
