The Chairman of All Progressive Congress, APC, in Ebonyi State, Southeast, Mr. Stanley Okoroemegha has replied to the outburst of Rivers State Governor, Mr. Nyesom Wike over the judgment of Federal High Court sitting in Abuja.
Okoroemegha said the attention of the Ebonyi State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress APC was drawn to the statement of the Rivers State governor, where he, reacting to the Federal High Court ruling which recently gave the order of vacation for Governor David Umahi and his Deputy, Dr. Kelechi Igwe from official duties.
“After listening to Governor Wike’s reckless tirades against Governor Umahi, the Ebonyi APC feels obligated to reply.
“Governor David Umahi has since appealed the judgment of the Federal High Court Abuja while hoping that the appellate courts will upturn the ruling of the lower court because it does not align with any of the already established legal precedents on defection in the country.
“Nigerians are invited to note that the current travails of Governor David Umahi has nothing to do with offending any law, but a clear case of political enemies persecuting a performing Governor because of his rising political profile as indicated by the utterances of Governor Wike,” he explained.
“The All Progressives Congress APC in Ebonyi State, the good people of Ebonyi State and indeed all lovers of Democracy will continue to support and pray for Governor Umahi not only for the restoration of his mandate but also for his victory as the president of Nigeria in 2023.
