David Umahi, the Governor of Ebonyi State and Chairman of the South-East Governors’ Forum, has urged eligible voters in the state not to vote for the Labour Party in the upcoming general election.

This was said by the governor during the inauguration of five new Commissioners and other aides in Abakaliki, the state capital, on Monday. The instruction comes one week after the presidential primary poll for the All Progressives Congress.

Mathias Adum, Celestine Nwali, Beatrice Eze, Christopher Uchaji, and Romanus Nwasum were sworn in as commissioners, while Mrs Mary Rita Okoro was sworn in as Head of Service.

“We will not vote for Labour Party. We will only vote for APC. Our votes are for APC and not for Labour Party. Our agenda is Ebonyi agenda.

“We will vote for our presidential candidate in the person of Tinubu. We must strive to liberate Ebonyi State; Ebonyi is our agenda now.”

Governor Umahi was elected twice on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, in 2015 and 2019, but switched to the APC in November 2020, according to Anaedoonline.ng.
