Gov. David Umahi of Ebonyi has refuted claims that he is supporting the state governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Dr. IfeanyiChukwuma Odii for the 2023 poll.
Umahi, also Ebonyi South senate candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said the insinuations were far from the truth.
“Those who are saying that Odii is a tool in our hand are very wrong. If they know the attack I face every day, they won’t say that.
“If I were to support, I would prefer someone else, who came from a tiny constituency, not someone, who came from my own zone,” Umahi stated.
Umahi however admonished CAN, elders, founding fathers, and all stakeholders to support zoning and power rotation, for sustainable peace in the state.
“When we were contesting in 2015, the North and Central supported us; their leaders stood with us,” Umahi added.
