2019 POLLS; EBONYI PDP ADOPTS UMAHI AS SOLE CANDIDATE.

-

The Ebonyi State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has adopted  Governor David Umahi  as  its  sole candidate for  the 2019 polls.

The   state PDP chairman,Chief Onyekachi Nwebonyi, announced this   on Tuesday when he led  the working committee of  the party to pay  Christmas homage to the governor   in Uburu,Ohaozara Local Government Area.

 Nwebonyi, who said they were in Uburu to felicitate  with  and thank the governor for his  achievements  within a short period of time, pledged their total support and loyalty to   Umahi whom, he said, was the best in the country.

 "On behalf of the state EXCO of our great party,we hereby adopt you as our sole candidate for governorship position,come 2019," the party chairman said in a statement on Wednesday by the governor's spokesman, Emma Anya.

 Nwebonyi thanked  Umahi for increasing the monthly stipend of party executives and those at  the ward level.

In his response,the governor  thanked the PDP working committee but charged them to work assiduously by holding party meetings even in the local and ward levels to enlighten people on the activities of government.

Informing the delegation that his  government  would  partner the  PDP in  2017 in the area of agriculture, he advised them  and other stalwarts of the party to ensure they had  a farm.

He said,"If you are in leadership at  any level of our party,you must have to  engage in  rice production. We are looking at maize also,our yam is the biggest in the whole country,if not in the whole of Africa.One who doesn't have farm land is not a member of PDP.".

Umahi added that  his administration  would by   January empower more than 4,000 people as over N1bn had  been set aside to execute the programme.

Earlier, the National Vice-Chairman of the  PDP(South-East),Deacon Austin Umahi,charged the state executive  of the PDP to go down to their villages and wards to  evangelise the good works of the governor. 

He  said those interested in running for the governorship poll in the 2019 must realise that there is no  vacancy in Ebonyi State.
