The Presidency has reacted to the report making the rounds
that Governor of Ebonyi State, David Umahi has concluded plans to dump the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the All Progressives Congress, APC.
The report emerged yesterday that the Chairman, South East
Governors’ Forum is about to dump the PDP for the ruling APC.
Governor Umahi is expected to announce his decision today in
Ebonyi State.
The presidency described the move as a welcome development,
describing Umahi as the highest performing Governor in the South East.
Bashir Ahmad, a special assistant to President Muhammadu
Buhari on new media, in a tweet in reaction to the news, said it was only a
homecoming for Umahi.
He tweeted, “When you apply its actual term, the ‘all
politics is local’, His Excellency will be welcomed to our great party, the
APC, a great person, one of the performing governors in the country, arguably
the best in his region. It’s just a homecoming!”
Femi Fani-Kayode, a former minister of aviation and a
chieftain of the main opposition party has also warned the leadership of the
PDP over the planned defection of Governor Umahi.
