Ebonyi Governor, Dave Umahi
By Iheanachor Isaac, Abakaliki
Ebonyi State Commissioner for Information and State Orientation, Barrister Uchenna Orji has said that the Presidential ambition of Governor, David Umahi remains unwavering and alive.
This came following speculations in some quarters of the state and beyond that Governor Umahi swapped his earlier ambition with that of senatorial seat.
The clarification was contained in a statement issued on Tuesday, signed by Barrister Orji and made available to journalists in Abakaliki.
“Our attention has been drawn to a senseless falsehood being irresponsibly shared in social media platforms by opposition forces and mischievous minds who are idly making mendacious propaganda against the Presidential ambition of the governor of Ebonyi State, His Excellency Engineer Chief David Umahi.
“Contrary to their cowardly fabrications against the well thought and nationally accepted Presidential ambition of Governor Umahi, we restate for the pleasure of progressive Nigerians home and in diaspora,that current trending in Social Media that Governor Umahi has dropped his ambition for Senate is nothing but empty and vaunting architecture of political charlatans,’ he said.
Orji however explained that the actors behind the fake news were intimidated by the outstanding performance of the state governor.
Orji further urged the general public to discountenance the insinuation, stressing that Umahi would build Nigeria of our pride if elected president in 2023.
