Amid the current crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi has said that some members of the opposition, who attacked him when he dumped the party are now in tears.
Umahi, who dumped the PDP for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2020, said that some of his former party members owed him an apology.
Speaking on Arise TV on Friday, the governor said, “I didn’t move from PDP to APC to have the ticket of the ruling party as presidential candidate. I only did that because I perceived that PDP was not going to give ticket to an Igbo man and I felt like it was not fair because we have served the party since 1999.
“A lot of people that are crying today were the people that attacked me for leaving PDP at that stage but subsequently, they left and so they owe me apologies.”
Continuing, he explained that “I and Wike had a quarrel, and when there is a quarrel, there will be anger, and that anger may not be a holy one. That is what transpired between us.
“Before I left PDP, we were best of friends, and you know how better it will be when you friend leaves you. That was the case between Wike and I.
“We have since reconciled and we are moving together. Wike and other Southern Governors believed in the Southern presidency and this is the spirit that is currently flogging the PDP.”
