2023: My state’s votes’ll go to Tinubu, not Peter Obi – Ebonyi gov

Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi, says the electorate in his state will only vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential flagbearear, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, in the 2023 elections.

Umahi vowed that no credible voter in Ebonyi would cast his vote for Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, said to be the most popular presidential candidate from the South-East.

The governor, who spoke during the swearing-in ceremony of five Commissioners and two Special Assistants, said, “We will not vote for Labour Party, we will only vote for APC. Our vote is for APC and not for the Labour Party.

“Our agenda is Ebonyi agenda. We will vote for our presidential candidate in the person of Tinubu. We must strive to liberate Ebonyi State and that is our agenda.”

Umahi had recently lambasted delegates of the South-East zone in the just-concluded APC presidential primaries, accusing them of trading with their votes at the national convention.

Recall that Umahi had scored 38 votes, the highest by any South East aspirant at the APC presidential primary election won by Tinubu.

The development also made him to lash out at the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, saying the outcome of the APC presidential primary had made him to lose confidence in the apex Igbo socio-political group.
