Ebonyi APC Salutes Umahi’s Courage During Presidential Primary

June 09, (THEWILL) – The leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ebonyi State chapter, has congratulated Governor David Umahi for his courageous and resilient disposition during the just concluded presidential primary election of the party in Abuja.

The State Chairman of the party, Chief Stanley Okoro Emegha, delivered the congratulatory note during a banquet, organised to appreciate Ebonyi people for their massive solidarity during the polls.

He said, “Your Excellency, we commend highly and celebrate your achievements. You have continuously made Ebonyi and the Igbo nation proud. You never can know the quantum of joy and prestige you gave, not only to Ebonyi people, but the entire Igbo nation by your firm disposition during the polls. You have won the hearts and admirations of many, as multitude across the country have been commending and eulogising you and the feat achieved so far.

“Like your sing tune, you have once again taken Ebonyi out of relegation. This is just your first shot at the presidential seat, but the impact was heavily felt. Beyond the South East zone, people are now more aware that indeed there is man who is firm and resolute in defending a just cause, especially when it matters most. Your Excellency, you are that man. You are a giant and leader with extraordinary vitality”, Emegha said.

While appreciating the delegates and other party faithfuls for their unprecedented support to Governor David Umahi, whom he described as a quintessential leader in Nigeria, Chief Emegha said Ebonyi people are trustworthy and cannot be influenced by materialistic tendencies. Hence the 39 votes were judiciously utilised to give honour to the two presidential aspirants from the state.

“But one particular thing that made my heart to bleed was the betrayal from our sister states. Despite the vigorous consultations and campaigns within the South East states of Abia, Enugu, Anambra and Imo, their delegates could not even sacrifice a vote in our favour. Only Ebonyi delegates voted wisely. Where is the oneness in Igbo land? Chief Emegha queried.

“However, I’m encouraged this evening because you have a convenant with God. Your Excellency, your assignment is divine and must be accomplished soonest.

“Nigeria belongs to all of us and we are not a conquered people. This is what you demonstrated at the outing. You fought a good fight and you have engraved the name of the Ndigbo on the epicenter of the Nigeria’s map. People of other zones have known that Ebonyi/Igbo nation is also an integral part of the country.

“Your Excellency, do not be deterred. You made the entire Igbo race proud and we are also grateful that we are associated with you sir. Your gallantry at the primary will make them come for a negotiation and we will be negotiating with them from a superior position. One thing is certain, for those that betrayed, betrayal will never depart from their homes.

“We are pledging our continuous unalloyed support to your aspirations because it is not over, Nigeria is our common heritage. You did absolutely well. Everybody knows that you are eminently qualified for that position”, he boasted.
