Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated the Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi, for defecting to the All Progressives Congress (APC). The President expressed his excitement in a statement released on Wednesday (18/11) describing the defector’s move as bold and principle driven.

In a statement signed by the presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, the President said:

“I am proud of Governor David Umahi for taking this bold decision in accordance with his conscience and principles rather than any external influence or coercion,” the aide quoted Mr Buhari.

“Good governance is very important to us in the APC, and I’m glad that the governor has cited this as a major factor in his decision to join us. I urge our citizens to pay less emphasis on identity politics if we want our democracy to make a positive impact on our country,” Mr Buhari added.

He noted that “with men like Umahi, I foresee a brighter future for our democracy because the voters will be more motivated by performance records of parties and their candidates.”

“Let me once again; commend the boldness of Governor Umahi for taking this courageous decision in a country where principles are in short supply among many. I know people might call him names, but that is the price men of principles have to pay for acting according to their conscience and convictions” President Buhari added.

Baba picking don come home at last

Watch how those who used to praise Umahi for 6 consecutive years begin to bash and impugn his character.

They are like that.

Another thief in the camp

Am a PDP member but if Wike comes out as vice president under PDP and umahi as president under APC, I will without looking back vote for umahi of APC

Politics is all about strategies and tactics, Engr. David Umahi has an ulterior motive towards his defection......................

Fear Politicians

They are like that.

Because they praised him before means everything he does, they must praise him whether you like his actions or not.
Sorry that is zombie pattern of life not for normal human beings.
Even Umahi you are talking about once vowed never to join APC in this life even if reason arise to leave PDP.
Today, where is he?
But you still want his former supporters to sing on his praise.

What are they insulting him for?

Has he suddenly stopped being effective?

Or switching to another party makes him a leper?
Evil people .
