Claims By PDP That They Made Me is Rubbish, They Want Me to Castigate Buhari, Says Ebonyi Governor

Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi has described claims that the People’s Democratic Party made him what he is as “absolute rubbish” saying the PDP wanted him to castigate President Buhari.

Umahi spoke exclusively to ARISE News where he said “people say PDP made me what I am, that is absolute rubbish, we made what PDP what it is. It is the people that make up the party and I have contributed so much to the party no the other way round.

“I have been a peacemaker, I have been a negotiator, even the governor of Edo state coming on board was my prophecy and even my fellow governor ordered the NEC to come and probe me, in humility I submitted but that was a big minus for them because they don’t probe a sitting governor.

“Another one is that the PDP wants me to be castigating Mr. President. I have no other boss other than Mr. President and by my culture and upbringing, you don’t insult the elders.

“And some of them speak rubbish in the day and at night they are caps in hand and they start going up and down and Mr. President remains my boss, my father and I have no regret about that and he has been very fair to those who criticize him and those who don’t.
