BIGPENNGR.COM reports that Umahi formally defected on Tuesday to All Progressives Congress (APC) calling himself the sacrificial offering for an Igbo presidency in 2023.
Umahi had hinged his defection on the purported “injustice” against the South-East by the PDP since 1998.
But addressing newsmen in Abuja, the Ebonyi PDP caucus in the national assembly dissociated themselves from the defection of Gov. Dave Umahi to the ruling All Progressive Congress.
He, however, added that all the lawmakers accepted that it is now the turn of the South East to produce the next president of the country and they expect both parties to respect that fact.
