Governor Umahi
By CHARLES IWUOHA
Governor of Ebonyi State, Engr.David Umahi, has dismissed claims by opposition political parties of the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2023 presidential election.
Former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu and Senator Kashim Shettima, the Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates of the ruling APC practice Islam.
Umahi advised Nigerians not to be deceived by the Muslim/Muslim ticket because God was for Christians and Muslims.
“I don’t know what God wants to do with them but He is set to answer the prayers of his people,” he noted.
The Governor spoke to Journalists on Sunday while inspecting the ongoing work at the Ebonyi International Airport, Onueke, in Ezza South local Area of the state.
Umahi said there is a Christian/Christian ticket in Ebonyi and, in other states, there are Muslim/Christian, or Christian/Muslim tickets.
On issues within the party, the Ebonyi helmsman described them as normal, adding that the APC would win overwhelmingly in the elections.
The Governor added that “small squabbles” are normal because such stories are sweet to tell after “triumph.”
