Despite being in APC, Ebonyi gov, Umahi says he likes Obi, promises to host him publicly

“Peter Obi is my friend, I’m going to host him in Ebonyi State and I will host him publicly,

“I like what he’s doing, and it’s very encouraging.”

The Ebonyi State governor was quoted in the past to have said Peter Obi would not get any vote in the state.

He has now denied making such comments and accused the Peoples Democratic Party. PDP, in his state of orchestrating such narrative.

He also noted during the interview that the Igbos lost out massively in the All Progressives Congress and the PDP during the presidential primaries.
