Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi has denied rumours of
stepping down his presidential ambition.
There have been rumours making the rounds in the southeast,
that Umahi dropped his presidential ambition to run for senate, to represent
Ebonyi south at the National Assembly come 2023.
The governor who spoke to journalists on Tuesday through the
Commissioner of Information and State Orientation, Mr Uchenna Orji, described
the rumour as fake, adding that it is the handiwork of the opposition party to
dent his image.
He said, “Our attention has been drawn to a senseless falsehood being irresponsibly shared on 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 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
the falsehood trending currently on Social Media that Governor Umahi has
dropped his ambition for Senate.
“This is nothing but empty and vaunting architecture of
political charlatans who are intimidated by the tall and admirable hallmarks of
leadership excellence recorded by Governor Umahi and which has put him forward
as a frontline Presidential material that can win the hearts of Nigerians in
2023 General Election.
“Governor Umahi’s Presidential ambition is unwavering and is alive in the hearts of Nigerians. We advise the opposition forces and their agents to desist from all these fruitless and bizarre orchestrations against God’s servant and accomplished leader, for that is bringing more ostracism to their own organisms. We assure them that no matter the secrecy and potency of their plots, God will bring it to nought as we come in the name of God” he stated.
