PDP Moves To Block Umahi’s Defection To APC by EsomahJD: 6:26am On Nov 13, 2020
BARRING any last-minute change of mind, Ebonyi State Governor David Umahi may be set to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The PDP National Working Committee (NWC) moved to stop the governor from leaving the party.

The NWC met with the governor in Abuja yesterday, apparently to persuade him from leaving the party.

The party spokesman, Kola Ologbondiya, released pictures from the meeting and wrote: “State of the nation: @OfficialPDPNig just held a crucial meeting with Ebonyi State Governor, Engr. Dave Umahi, to deliberate on national issues.”

The governor was seen in the pictures smiling and holding hands with the National Chairman Uche Secondus and other NWC members.

Sources in the state maintained that the defection is on course.

It was gathered that two very close aides of the governor met with the 64 development centre coordinators in the state where modalities for the defection were discussed.

Sources at the meeting told The Nation that no date was fixed for the defection but that it is imminent.

The sources said the two aides, who are members of the governor’s kitchen cabinet as well as the State Executive Council, told the coordinators that there was no going back on the defection.

The coordinators also pledged their support and that of their supporters in their domains to the governor in whatever step he takes.

Also, the 13 local government chairmen who were present at the meeting reiterated their support and readiness to defect with the governor.

“Wherever the governor and our leader goes, we will go with him. We are very loyal and committed to the project,” one of those at the meeting said.

One of the coordinators posted an APC flag on his social media handle after the meeting and wrote: “APC, here I come, and I come in peace.”

The source said the governor’s recent engagements as the Southeast Governors Forum chairman, especially on issues around #EndSARS, may have delayed the yet-to-be-announced defection decision.

Our correspondent learnt that 16 of the 24 members of the Ebonyi House of Assembly have so far agreed to jump ship with the governor.

The APC in the state at the weekend said the governor’s defection was a done deal and only a matter of time.

Their nairaland hirelings have already declared Umahi one of the most useless governors in Nigeria and a paperweight politician.

Is Wadata Plaza trying to tell me they know better than those on nairaland?

Let him go now so that he can get the presidential ticket of APC, a price that has been elusive to ndigbo till now. His staying back in PDP will not guarantee his loyalty because he will use any excuse at any time.
But is not an ungrateful act for someone who was at a time the party chairman at state level, a deputy governor and a two time governor in PDP to come out and complain of marginalisation? Some people are not meant to be trusted.
APCheats congrats to you for your new found love.

Maybe they begging him not to defect with the senators and the house of rep members, because it's obvious that for personal reason(s) , Umahi has made up his mind. Even if he doesn't get the presidential or VP ticket as some claim that's what he's aspiring for, at least he can still be politically relevant being the biggest APC man in his state. Remaining in PDP, the best he can get is one tenure in the senate as South East are not known to entertain 'Godfatherism' from past governors, the new governor will like to cut him off ASAP.
Whatever happens, this goes to show that APC and PDP are just d same set of people.

They should leave the man to make his choice, how can a party see his Governor slaughter his people without uttering a word of condemnation. Rather they where apologizing to a bloody murderer

Nigeria youths stop killing yourselves over these politicians. They're only interested in themselves. They don't care about you. More than half of APC members were formerly in PDP so critising APC under the umbrella of PDP would be hypocrisy.

Youths let's be wise so that come 2023, we'll retire these crooks once and for all.
