Shocker For Umahi As Support Group Rejects APC

Governor Dave Umahi was at the weekend given a major shocker when a long-lasting political support group that has backed his political ambitions in Ebonyi State, Caringheart Foundation, pulled out from supporting him within the All Progressives Congress, APC.

The group in a statement obtained by GWG said that it would not follow the governor to the APC and would remain within the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

The group is led by a two time former member of the House of Representatives, Linuus Okorie.

Okorie, who represented Ohaozara/Onicha/Ivo federal constituency between 2011 and 2019, said:

“Recent events and developments in our body polity have been of grave concern to us, as a body and even as individuals; requiring that we take a firm decision for collective direction. This is especially so with the defection of the governor from the PDP to the APC. As we all are aware, the CaringHeart Group holds the governor in high esteem and has been totally loyal to and supportive of his administration.

“Accordingly, members have been anxious to know the direction the CaringHeart Group is taking in the divergent political trajectories in the state. That burden lies on me and I want to assure all that I have the required political will and sagacity to discharge it to the best of my conscience and belief,” Okorie said.
