The Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi, has said despite the string of successes recorded by the Labour Party (LP) in the recent presidential and National Assembly elections in the Southeast, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is getting stronger in the region.
“For my state, I have nothing to worry about, I think God has done the work for me and our candidate, which is God-driven candidate, is going to emerge, no matter how desperate the opposition will want to try, he said after meeting with President Buhari at the Villa.
“First and foremost is that Mr Peter Obi has announced that there is no Labour Party gubernatorial candidate in Ebonyi State. That is one, but even if the candidate stands election, he’s no match for the candidate of the APC, so I’m very sure that we’re going to win.
Umahi, who emerged Senator-elect in the elections, noted that his State, Ebonyi, APC recorded significant successes because of the strength of the party.
“Because I’ve been very busy in Ebonyi State, it’s not been very much easy for me to join gubernatorial campaign in Enugu State or in Abia State, so I won’t be able to honestly analyse what are the chances of our party, but I believe that we have very strong candidates, especially in Abia State and I believe that he will emerge. This is the much I can say about that.”
Asked the chances of the Southeast in the composition of the leadership of the 10th National Assembly, in view of his interest, Umahi said that every geopolitical zone would be given a fair chance when the time comes for that.
