Recall that Umahi defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in November 2020 from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Umahi said his presidency will replicate his progressive efforts in Ebonyi at the national level.

The governor said he intends to bring a business-like spirit into governance.

According to him, President Buhari responded to his interest by asking him to seek the support of the people.

The governor said he is undeterred by Tinubu’s presence, saying that the contest is not about might.
