Governor Umahi to dump PDP for APC, see why

Governor Umahi to dump PDP for APC see why Umahi wants to be president in 2023 and he considers the APC a sure pathway to the realization of that ambition.

Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State has told the national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that he's done with the party and would be signing for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in this season's political transfer window. Punch reports that on Tuesday, November 10, Umahi told National Working Committee (NWC) members of the PDP that his decision to join the APC has become irrevocable. 

 Some members of the PDP NWC who were at this meeting which held at the Ebonyi Governor's Lodge in Abuja were National Chairman Prince Uche Secondus, Deputy National Secretary, Agbo Emmanuel; National Organising Secretary, Austin Akobondu; Financial Secretary, Abdullahi Maibasira; National Women Leader, Mariya Waziri and Senator Sulieman Nazif, according to the report. Umahi, owengist has learnt, wants to ditch the PDP because in 2023, the APC will be zoning the presidency to the south of Nigeria. It is understood that the PDP is not ready to make that commitment to Umahi just yet. 57-year-old Umahi is regarded as one of the better performing governors in the country and is credited with delivering on a slew of infrastructure promises.

 Reports say he has also changed the face of Abakaliki, the Ebonyi state capital. Umahi is also in the good books of President Muhammadu Buhari of the APC and has accompanied the Nigerian leader on a raft of foreign trips. Punch reports that during the meeting in Abuja this week, Umahi maintained a friendly mien and tone with the PDP delegation, but stuck to his decision to leave the PDP when the matter came up for discourse. However, the PDP delegation argued that the APC had become unpopular and that Umahi will be making a mistake if he switches to the nation's governing party. 

Sources at the meeting however said the governor was not convinced, insisting that the APC is planning to zone the 2023 presidency to the southeast. 

 He reportedly promised to remain in the PDP if the party could publicly declare that it would zone the 2023 presidency to the same zone.

While food, drinks, gorgeous attires and all those good stuff are the commonest things one would normally see at a wedding ceremony, it is also quite common to see few tears here and there. These tears could be shed by anyone, ranging from any of the couple to anyone of their parents. It’d appear that grooms are becoming increasingly emotional on their big days as more clips and photos of teary grooms keep trickling onto social media platforms and online spaces. The most recent case being gospel musician, Joe Praiz, Joanna just recently. The groom had few tears while reading his vows and had to bring out an hanky to wipe off his face before leaning in for his first kiss. While we’re just so glad that salty tears didn’t ruin the sweetness of couple’s first kiss, we also have to wonder, why could this groom have been crying?
