Umahi Denies Wike's Political Candidates in Ebonyi State
David Umahi, the former governor of Ebonyi State and current Minister of Works, declared that there is no "rainbow coalition" in Ebonyi State, emphasizing the state's continued support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidates. His remarks were made during an inspection of the Calabar-Abuja Superhighway in Benue State.
Umahi addressed the ongoing political disagreements involving Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and some APC governors regarding the 2027 elections. He stated, “If Wike has candidates here, he has not told me,” asserting that Wike's candidates would not affect their relationship.
Umahi also criticized the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), explaining that he left the party due to its failure to honor the interests of the South-East. He warned political actors against hate speech and disorder, stating that anyone wishing to campaign in Ebonyi is welcome but must refrain from inciting conflict.
