Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State has asked those who attacked him for leaving the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to apologise to him.
Umahi, who ran for the presidential ticket of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, in June, dumped the PDP for APC on November 17, 2020.
Speaking on Arise TV on Friday, Umahi alleged that some of his former party members who were angered by his defection to APC are now crying. He demanded apologies from them.
He said, “I didn’t move from PDP to APC to have the ticket of the ruling party as presidential candidate. I only did that because I perceived that PDP was not going to give ticket to an Igbo man and I felt like it was not fair because we have served the party since 1999.
“A lot of people that are crying today were the people that attacked me for leaving PDP at that stage but subsequently, they left and so they owe me apologies.”
