Umahi of Ebonyi state

The Governor of Ebonyi State, David Umahi has made it clear that he is ready to fight the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the finish over the court judgment that sacked him as governor for defecting from the party to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Governor Umahi, who addressed over two thousand members of the ruling APC in Ebonyi State at a solidarity rally that took place today, March 9 at the Udensi roundabout, staged to declare their support and loyalty to him, said that he has mobilized over seventeen Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs) to Appeal the judgment of the Federal High court sitting in Abuja. The SANs are being led by justice Inyang Ekwo, wherein he was sacked for defecting from the opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the ruling APC.

Umahi said he has no regrets in defecting to the ruling APC and threatened to engage in battle with the opposition party, the PDP in Ebonyi State, especially for trying to distract his administration.

“I’m still the Governor of Ebonyi State and I’m still working. I said the lawyers of PDP are the ones doing forum shopping and I’m going to write against the lawyers to NBA to discipline them because the judge was misled. The blame was not on the judge. The blame is on the PDP lawyers who misled the judge.

“And I’m using the opportunity to let Nigerians know that nobody castigated the judge and we will not and because the matter was not before any judge.

“Today, we have appealed the judgment. We have done three things; we have done the appeal at Enugu, and when I say that, we have two judgments, I say that the judgment in Ebonyi state, which has equal powers with that of Abuja. We said we will obey the judgment in Ebonyi State. We will appeal the judgment of Abuja. We didn’t say we will disobey otherwise we would have not have appealed.

“We are before the Appeal Court of Enugu state and that of Abuja. We have also filed a stay of execution. So, we are still the Governor and Deputy Governor of Ebonyi State.”
