Onetime Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, has revealed why Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Atiku suggested that Umahi’s political inexperience may have prompted him to make the wrong choice of defecting.
He told a gathering of PDP members in Ebonyi state on Tuesday, December 29, that the governor was yet to disclose the true reason why he decided to leave the party.
Atiku stated that only a politically naive and visionless politician will dump PDP for the APC.
He said: “We hope one day, Gov. Umahi will be courageous enough to tell Ebonyians the true reasons why he left for a sinking ship APC. If he does not, at the appropriate time we shall tell the people.”
“It is only the politically naive, dumb, visionless, and broken that will leave a smooth sailing, progressive, purposeful, and goal-oriented ship and jump into a sinking and directionless ship on a voyage to nowhere.”
Atiku also said that he is confident that the PDP will take over the Ebonyi government house come 2023 despite the governor’s defection to the APC.
