Face your frustrations about APC misrule, PDP Govs Forum tells Umahi

Tunde Opalana, Abuja

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Governors Forum has asked the Ebonyi State governor, David Umahi not to drag the PDP into his agony of frustration he currently experience in the All Progressive Congress (APC).

Governor Umahi who traded the mandate given to the PDP by defecting to the ruling APC seems not to be enjoying pleasant moments since he cross- carpeted.

The Ebonyi governor’s aspiration of lobbying the APC for a power shift to the South East in 2023 may have been suffering set back with body language of top notchers in the ruling party.

Outraged at the attempt by Gov.Umahi, to drag the PDP into his lamentation of a possible slip of an attempt to get an Igbo presidency come 2023, the Forum on Saturday mocked the Ebonyi governor to face his moment of agony alone.

Hon. Cyril Maduabum, Director General, PDP Governors Forum in a statement said “Governor Umahi left PDP for APC, according to him, because of the love he has for President Buhari, among other flimsy reasons, irrespective of the maladministration and daily incidents of destruction of lives and properties currently going on in Ebonyi State and the entire country under the watch of APC .

“Governor Umahi sabotaged the PDP in 2019 elections in his quest to deliver 25% to his APC benefactors. It took the determined resistance of Ebonyi people to checkmate him. It was good riddance that he subsequently left PDP for APC instead of continuing his role as an APC mole.

“On the issue of Zoning, we advise Governor Umahi to face his frustrations in APC and not drag PDP and her Governors into it. PDP is an independent political Party with workable structures and method of doing things. It’s not an appendage of the APC or indeed any other association or group.

“The PDP will take its decision on the issue of zoning political offices at the appropriate time. Even the APC has not taken any decision yet on zoning. Different groups and interests are advancing arguments to defend their positions as is required in a democracy. At the end of the day, decisions will be taken by each political party.

“The PDP is single minded in its resolve to boot out the APC in 2023 and would craft strategies to achieve same in the national interest as APC currently represents an existential threat to Nigerias democracy and survival. Indeed all Nigerians have a duty and responsibility to end this long nightmare of APC misrule”.
