Former Governor of Ekiti state, Mr Ayo Fayose, has described the defection of Governor of Ebonyi state, Mr Dave Umahi to the All Progressives Congress, (APC) as very disappointing.
According to him, Mr Umahi was unfair to the PDP, which gave him the governorship ticket in 2015 and again in 2019.
Fayose said Governor Umahi had defected to the APC long ago before “this unjustifiable move, which clearly has nothing to do with the interest of the Igbo nation”
In his tweets, Fayose wrote that “Gov Umahi defected to APC long ago before this unjustifiable move, which clearly has nothing to do with the interest of the Igbo nation.
“This is a reflection of the type of leadership our country parades.
“Though his action dampens hope for liberation, but I’m sure Nigerians will laugh last because sometimes, it will appear to have gotten so bad before it will begin to get better.”
