The Chairman, South-East Governors Forum and Governor of Ebonyi State, David Umahi, says the region would only support the presidential aspirant who would guarantee equity, fairness and justice in 2019.
Umahi spoke when he received a Peoples Democratic Party PDP presidential aspirant, Rabiu Kwankwaso, at the Government House, Abakaliki.
He said that As people aspirants come to speak, they guage and if any body tells you that he can influence the choice of any aspirant in this State, the person is not telling you the truth.
At the end of the day, the decision of the best aspirant to follow will be that of the people…and they will definitely let the aspirants know who our choice is and the reason behind the choice.
Ebonyi State, We may not be that rich but we are rich in truth your excellency and indeed the South East is very desirous of the unity of this country; the oneness of this country. We desire equity, justice and fairness.
He noted that with the large crowd of followers and the love expressed for Kwankwaso in the State, he is evidently qualified for the job he was seeking.
Speaking, Kwankwaso officially introduced and handed over the representatives of his campaign organisation, known as Kwankwasiyya Movement, to the Governor and the party leadership in the State.
Kwankwaso said he was a privileged and experienced politician, noting that out of the total of 15 different elections he had contested, he had only lost two.
He pledged to tackle the issues of power, education, health, as well as redeem the infrastructural deficiencies in the country while improving the resources of the State in particular and the South-east zone in general.
Assessing other aspirants, the former governor said: “Your Excellency, to me anybody who is in politics and never contested any election, if you are looking for field politician, it shouldn’t be him.
Kwankwaso added that Umahi is a Governor who I can comfortably recommend for second term.
