A press statement Saturday by the Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the governor, Francis Nwaze, the governor said he is still with the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) as against the rumour of his defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Hear him: “My attention has been drawn to the news making the round in some quarters of the media, alleging that the Governor of Ebonyi State, Engr. David Umahi has defected to the All Progressive Congress (APC).
“The news is a product of a figment of imagination on the part of the carriers as Governor Umahi was, is, and is still flying the flag of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“It is, however, difficult to observe how people are easily persuaded to believe in fake dummies in the name of rumours.
“If for any reason, Governor Umahi wishes to leave People Democratic Party (PDP), it will be officially communicated and can never be a product from rumour mongers”.
He called on the public to jettison such unfounded rumour.
