Road to 2023: APC's Presidential Candidate will have Ebonyi votes, no other party----Gov. Umahi


Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State has said that votes from his state would definitely go for the Candidature of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and not the Labour Party (LP) or any other come 2023 presidential election.

Umahi made the remark in Abakaliki while addressing leaders of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), traditional rulers and Town Unions, and members of the state executive council after swearing in newly appointed Commissioners and Special Assistants.

The former Governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu, is the presidential candidate of the APC, while a former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, is that of the LP.

It recalls that Umahicontested and lost the presidential ticket on platform of APC polling 38 votes.

According to him, my state will not vote for any party apart from APC. The state that Labour party has helped should vote for it.

“Our party is APC and not the Labour Party. We will not vote for the Labour Party. We will vote for APC. The states that the Labour Party has helped should vote for them.

“The agenda of God for Ebonyi State is Ebonyi State agenda and that is what you should be telling them when they come to ask you who you will vote for. Tell them not to look for our votes, our votes belong to APC," the Governor stated.

Umahi also decried the way the state was not recording high registration of voters in the ongoing voters' card registration exercise.

“It is very unfortunate that the different local government areas in the state are yet to witness high turnout of voters’ registration in the state, apart from Afikpo south that has so far registered over 71,000 voters, others are yet to make any meaningful impact,” Umahi said.
