“When you announced that it was time to move on, a lot of us were foot-dragging, wanting to make consultations but in the end, decided to move with you,”
The deputy governor of Ebonyi state, Dr Eric Kelechi Igwe has tasked governor, Mr David Umahi to ensure that he contests for the presidency of Nigeria in 2023 to fulfil the reason he dragged them into the APC, a News Agency of Nigeria report said.

Dr Igwe made the statement when he led other state executive members to pay a Christmas homage to the governor in his Uburu, Ohaozara Local Government Area country home on Tuesday,
Igwe said it was a tough decision to crossing over to the APC with the governor because he and many others had no interest in the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC,
“When you announced that it was time to move on, a lot of us were foot-dragging, wanting to make consultations but at the end, decided to move with you,” NAN quoted Mr Igwe to have said. “I must confess that some of us didn’t like the APC but decided to join it because of you, so we are declaring that you must contest the 2023 presidential election.”
Responding, Mr Umahi advised his visitors to continue to remain loyal to his administration and not indulge in any acts of betrayal because he’s aware that “there is a Judas in every 12.” He told his audience that the APC is the party where Igbos can “property evaluate” themselves.
It will be recalled that Mr Umahi was twice elected on the platform of opposition PDP but defected from the party in November, citing “injustice being done to South-East by the PDP.”
