| Ebonyi State Governor, Dave Umahi |
Reactions trailed Governor Umahi’s statement on Peter Obi's movement sweeping across States in the South East Region.
“Peter Obi movement is a movement that is anchored on equity, justice and fairness. It may not translate to an outright win because I must defend my party, I must wish my party well and I’m having the ticket of my party.
Umahi in a chat with State House correspondents said that every presidential candidate for the 2023 general elections has a chance to win the election and he wishes Peter Obi victory.
“Peter Obi movement is a movement that is anchored on equity, justice and fairness. It may not translate to an outright win because I must defend my party, I must wish my party well and I’m having the ticket of my party.
“As a party man, I would wish that our party would win. And if God says no, the next person I wish that should win is Peter Obi. Because I believe strongly and I will say it anywhere in this north-south presidency after the north has taken eight years, there is no moral justification for the north to be seeking to take another eight years, it should go to the south. And so, I’m not wishing Peter Obi away.
“Everybody has the chance of winning and chances of losing but you must always have a wish,” he said.
Reacting Nigerians commended him for being bold enough to say the truth about the coming political revolution in the country.
