“Umahi’s emergence as the APC flagbearer for Ebonyi South senatorial district after the rerun primaries on 31st July, 2022, completes the circle of achievers who are the best to represent the southeast in 10th National Assembly,” the Ohanaeze scribe said.
He warned that this was the time for non-performing lawmakers “to voluntarily retire from their senatorial seats in the South-East or be disgraced in the 2023 polls.”
“Most of them have been sleeping in the Senate and most of them never judiciously used their constituency funds for the good of the people,” he stated.
