Governor David Umahi’s re-election bid received a boost on Tuesday when 26 opposition candidates stepped down for him.

Also, two All Progressives Congress (APC) State House of Assembly candidates at the event also announced that they were stepping down for opposition PDP candidates.

Okorie Ogbonnaya of the Advanced Allied Party (AAP), who spoke on behalf of the governorship candidates, said their decision was to allow for continuity.

“After critically appraising the developmental stride of Governor Umahi and in perfect agreement that he has done well in his first term and will do more in the second term, we the underlisted political parties hereby resolve without any form of force to step down for Governor David Umahi and adopt him as our sole candidate for the governorship election,” he said.

They said their decision would enable the governor to complete his eight years term as enshrined in the Ebonyi ‘charter of equity’ ”which stipulated that each senatorial zone should have two uninterrupted terms in office.”

The candidates also resolved that they will not go to court in the event that Mr Umahi is re-elected in Saturday’s governorship election.

“But we shall fight for justice and stand by the people of the state in the case of obvious alleged planned manipulation of the election by the APC,” they said

Also speaking, the APC House of Assembly candidate for Ezza South Constituency, Amechi Nweke, said he was stepping down ”in support of the developmental strides of the governor”.

The South East Vice Chairman of the PDP, Austin Umahi; State Deputy Governor, Kelechi Igwe; State PDP Chairman, Onyekachi Nwebonyi and other leaders of the party were on hand to welcome the politicians to the party

If Dave Umahi could defeat Martins Elechi as a sitting governor, then this election is a walkover for him.

Who knows Ogboji and the foolish old man he chose as deputy?

Ebonyi South cannot get twelve years, so Ogboji should just get lost.

Is that a noun or adjective

This is height of Political cowardice. How can you jump ship in the middle of an ocean?
97% of our Politicians are nothing but Political Prostitutes.

Competent is an adjective
Eg, Engr. Dave Umahi is a competent governor (ADJECTIVE)

Engr. Dave Umahi's competence (NOUN) impelled other guber hopefuls to support him

Thank me later

Job seekers, many of them had posters only on social media.

there was never APC candidates in Ebonyi umahi had exchange the state presidential election for the state and house of assembly election.


umahi is smart. when election time is near a whole APC that had power at the center will just withdraw just like that? some folks don't understand how politics works.


we warned them to leave Yoruba politics and concentrate on their region politics but they won't hear. their politicians keep playing political chess game on their head but they don't know. all those East politicians won't function in west politics if they're from here

Umahi of Ebonyi state is a smart Governor.

He delivered excess of the minimum 25% votes constitutionally required by APC/Buhari to win the presidential election of February 23 and as payback for a job well executed, APC asked its candidates in Ebonyi to withdraw for Umahi and PDP in the governorship and House of Assembly election a few days to the elections!

Umahi took a cue from Governors who perfectly did this in the past, starting from some opposition parties during Obasanjo’s administration.

Pragmatic politics! I hail all parties involved.

The more you look, the less you see when it comes to Nigeria politics.

Ebonyi is a de facto one-party state and that party is PDP. Nobody has ever left it and remained relevant
Afikpo Chic is the latest victim. Umahi is not exempted. If he tries it that would be the end of his political career

this is the most sensible explanation. but you meant "grand plan "
