Ebonyi Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Barr Uchenna Orji on Sunday said that the State Governor, David Umahi only submitted nomination forms for the Presidential ticket and not for any other ticket whatsoever.

He reiterated that the Governor's Presidential ambition is unwavering, describing the publication in some national newspapers, that Umahi submitted forms for senatorial ticket as false.

According to the Commissioner, "the attention of the Ebonyi State Government has been drawn to a misrepresentation of facts contained in a newspaper report credited to one freelancer, Johnchuks Onuanyim and published in the Sun and New Telegraph Newspapers of Sunday, May 15, 2022 among other media platforms.

"The report gave the false impression that Governor Umahi was one of the presidential aspirants, who submitted forms for the senatorial ticket.

"For the records, the Governor submitted nomination forms for the Presidential ticket only and not for any other ticket whatsoever. His Presidential ambition is therefore unwavering.

"The newspaper report is distorted and lacks authenticity and therefore falls short of the slightest credibility as it is aimed at demeaning the personality of the Governor of Ebonyi State," he stated.

The Commissioner, however, enjoined the members of the public to discountenance the publication, saying it was an orchestration of political desperadoes who felt threatened by the acceptable performance credentials of Governor Umahi and the rising popularity of his Presidential ambition deeply rooted in evidential performance, track records equity and social justice.

'I also urge all the compatriots who have stood with Governor's Presidential aspiration not to be deterred. Umahi remained committed to nation-building and only needed his supporters' prayers.
