The National Coordinator of People’s Democratic Party Coalition, Chief Dr. Emeka Kalu has stated that the defection of Ebonyi State Governor, Dave Umahi from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) will end in shame and disappointment for him and his political career.
The PDP chieftain who reacted to the development in a statement issued on Wednesday, said that Umahi will be left in tears full of regrets over his presidential ambition because President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC will never hand over to power to the southeast.
Reacting further, Kalu described Umahi’s move as greedy and shameful after serving the PDP as a Chapter Chairman, Deputy Governor for 8 years and Governor for 8 years but noted however that Umahi would only end up regretting his actions.
He said; “Governor Umahi benefited immensely from the PDP as the State Chairman of Ebonyi PDP (2003 to 2007); deputy governor of Ebonyi state (2007 to 2015) and two term governor of Ebonyi (2015 till date), all elected on the platform of the PDP. Having benefited these juicy positions from the PDP, it’s only greed and selfishness that will make such person to betray the party.”
“APC won’t give him more than a Senatorial ticket and also hide his corruption file. He will end up regretting his action because it’ll end in disappointment and shame. Buhari and APC will not give APC ticket to the southeast in 2023.” he added.
