Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State has urged the the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar to stop linking him with their woes.
The governor was reacting to a statement, credited to the former Vice President, where he accused him of being heartless to have unjustly sealed the Ebonyi PDP secretariat and masterminded the detention of the party’s spokesperson in police custody.
Umahi who spoke to journalists through the special assistant on Media and Publicity Mr Francis Nwaze, said: “Our attention has been drawn to a publication credited to the former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar in which he urged Governor David Umahi, to unseal the PDP Secretariat and release detained Spokesman of the Party in the State.
“The People’s Democratic Party in Ebonyi State should make efforts to first, find the location of its Secretariat without involving the focused administration of Governor David Umahi, that is if it has a Secretariat as we are not aware of where they have a permanent Secretariat in their name.

“Governor David Umahi left the party in November 2020, he did not leave with even a pin belonging to the Party. And so long as we understand the continued reference to Governor Umahi by the PDP long after his exit, is a sign that the Party misses his astute leadership acumen, we appeal to the Party to please find a soft landing as Governor Umahi has since moved on in his Progressive march to eldorado.
“We are constrained to make further comments on the case of its spokesperson, Nwoba Chika who is now in detention, his case is now pending in a court of competent jurisdiction. His political party have the leeway to prove themselves innocent through the court process instead of tempting the State Government to meddle in contempt of court”,
