David Umahi, the Governor of Ebonyi State who decamped from the PDP to the APC and lost the APC presidential ticket has revealed that he likes the presidential ambition of former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi who he also describes as his friend.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain declared on Friday that he is ready to host the Labour Party presidential candidate whenever he visits Ebonyi.
Umahi stated this while appearing live on Arise TV programme today, September 2.
During the interview, Umahi denied viral reports of him saying that Obi would not get a single vote from Ebonyi in the 2023 elections.
He said Obi is his friend and he likes what the Anambra man is doing politically.
mahi said: “I never in all my outings and utterances mentioned Peter Obi.
“Peter Obi is my friend, I’m going to host him in Ebonyi State and I will host him publicly. I like what he’s doing, and it’s very encouraging.”
Governor Umahi accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in his state of orchestrating the narrative about his stance on Obi.
He also noted during the interview that the Igbos lost out massively in the APC and the PDP during the presidential primaries.
