Eko Hot Blog reports that Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi, has rallied support for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu.
Umahi made a case for the election of Tinubu on Wednesday at the Izzi LGA of Ebonyi while flagging off the APC’s campaign across the 13 council areas of the state.
According to the Ebonyi governor, the former Lagos governor helped Igbos to prosper when he was at the helm.
Umahi promised that Tinubu would take care of Ebonyi residents the way President Muhammadu Buhari is “presently doing.”
“Igbos prospered under Tinubu as Lagos governor and they are still prospering,” he said.
“We are not sentimental and will follow the man who knows the road.
“Tinubu will take care of Ebonyi the way President Muhammadu Buhari is presently doing.”
Meanwhile, Umahi called on the people of Izzi to massively support Francis Nwifuru, the Ebonyi APC governorship candidate, who is currently the Speaker of the state House of Assembly.
“It is the turn of the Izzi clan to be governor in the land they gave us and nothing will take it away from them,” the governor said.
“Nwifuru has been under my tutelage for the past 16 years and he is eminently qualified to continue with the divine mandate philosophy.
“When it was the turn of the south to produce the governor, Izzi people and the entire Ekumenyi bloc massively supported me. It is presently your turn and the southern district, and others should support you.”
