The immediate past governor of Ebonyi State, Engr. Dave Umahi has maintained that he has the right to choose who will replace him at the Senate.
Umahi was a senator representing the Ebonyi South District until his resignation after being appointed minister by President Bola Tinubu.
During a courtesy call to Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifuru, on September 9, Umahi publicly said, “I have the right to choose who will succeed me.”
However, the Ebonyi State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has lambasted the Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, for making such inorderly statement.
The party observed it was ridiculous for the immediate past governor of the state to come back to insist he will produce his successor at the Red Chamber, having unilaterally ‘abandoned’ the seat in pursuit of his ministerial appointment, without consulting the constituents of Ebonyi South Zone.
The Chairman of the state PDP chapter, Augustine Nwazunku, said in a statement on Wednesday, that Umahi should apologise for making such a sinister utterance.
