The Governor of Ebonyi, Dave Umahi has boasted that Eboyians will vote for the All-Progressives Congress (APC) and not the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 presidential election.
Umahi stated this during the swearing in ceremony of five Commissioners and two Special Assistant, SA, into his cabinet including 6 Development Center Coordinators at the Exco chambers of the new Government House, Abakaliki.
Umahi who fears the momentum Peter Obi has been gaining recently across Nigeria including in the south-east after defecting from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), insisted that the state will vote only for APC and urged the people not to vote for the Labour Party during the election.
Bola Tinubu, a former Lagos governor, is the presidential candidate of the APC, Peter Obi, a former governor of Anambra, is that of the LP.
Umahi contested the ruling party’s presidential ticket but lost out to Tinubu after polling 38 votes.
According to him, the votes of the State only belong to the ruling APC, whether they like it or not
“We will not vote for Labour Party; we will only vote for APC. Our vote is for APC and not for Labour Party. Our agenda is Ebonyi agenda. We will vote for our Presidential candidate in the person of Tinubu. We must strive to liberate Ebonyi State and that is our agenda”.

Onyekachi Nwaebonyi as Commissioner for Capital Territory Development, Chief Mattias Adum takes over the ministry of Lands and Survey while Chief Romanus Nwasum is to oversee the Ministry of Infrastructural Development for Concession.
