Only God will determine my successor in 2023-Umahi
The Governor of Ebonyi State, Chief Dave Umahi, has said that it is only God that will determine who succeeds him as the governor of the State in 20203.
Governor Umahi said this in Abakaliki over the weekend during the state congress of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
He warned political gladiators in the state to stop the bickering and heating up of the polity as according to him, “it is too early for the politics of succession” in the state.
The Ebonyi State Governor called for peace in the party, insisting that there was no reason for tension in the polity.
“The best thing is to put your confidence in God Almighty, and support the government and the people. I have nothing to fear and I must not replace myself. God will bring my successor. So, there should be no tension , we still have one year and half to work, the other one year plus is for politics and empowerment. But we have to work first,” Umahi said.
Onyekachi Nwebonyi, who was re-elected party chairman, assured the party faithful that the state executive of the PDP would continue to entrench internal democracy in the party.
Senators Sam Egwu {Ebonyi North}, Ama Nnachi {Ebonyi South}, and Obinna Ogba {Ebonyi Central}, as well as the lawmaker representing Afikpo North/South, Iduma Igariewy, were absent at the congress.
