BREAKING: ‘You’re On Your Own’ – ex-Governor, Sam Egwu, Other Ebonyi NASS Members Tell Umahi

Not a single member elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) representing Ebonyi State at the National Assembly (NASS), is ready to defect with Governor Dave Umahi to the All Progressives Congress (APC), ex-governor Sam Egwu declared on Wednesday.

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.

The caucus which is being led by former governor of state, Sen. Sam Egwu, has three Senators and five house of representatives members.

 

“For the sake of clarity, we wish to state that not a single member of the Ebonyi state PDP caucus of the National Assembly is defecting to the APC. The 3 senators and 5 house of Representatives members remain proud, card carrying members of the PDP”, Egwu said.

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.
