The Governor of Ebonyi State, Engr. David Umahi has berated the apex Igbo socio-political organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, over the voting pattern of South-East delegates at the just concluded presidential primary election of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Umahi, a presidential aspirant at the primary, expressed displeasure with Ohanaeze Ndigbo, saying he no longer believes in the organization.
The governor also accused South-East delegates of a “high level of betrayal” during the APC presidential primary election in Abuja.
Umahi insisted that it was a big shame that Igbos failed to make a statement with their delegates.
His words: “The presidential election was an eye-opener to Ebonyi State. I thank God that through your support, we had a victory. We decided to contest so that the Igbo people would not say that we do not have qualified people.
“The Igbo man has five States and we should be asking why. Is there any fairness? Other States have 40 to 50 local government areas. How do you expect an Igbo man to win? But the worst is the attitude of delegates from the South-East. I met with delegates from the South-East and begged them to vote for any aspirant from the South-East, and by doing so, we will make a statement.”
