The Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi has stated that the decamping of some state governors to the ruling party All Progressives Congress (APC) was not a threat to his political aspiration, but he is rather happy to have them in the party.
The governor said this on Monday during an interview on Channels Television breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily.
He said that he felt happy rather than being threatened and his ambition is in the hand of God.
When asked if he feels threatened by the defections, he replied that the more governors in APC, the more chance they have to win the elections and the more chance they have to continue the project of Nigeria from where President Buhari will stop by 2023.
Umahi, who is also the Chairman South-East Governors’ Forum also said on his recent visit to the State House in Abuja. He said that, he did not only visit because of his political ambition but also concerning the security and socio- economic of the state in the southeast region.
Umahi, last week, revealed his 2023 presidential ambition at the State House in Abuja. His declaration came almost 24 hours after the former Governor of Lagos State, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, also shown his political interest . Both men are members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
