David Umahi, Ebonyi State Governor, is reportedly set to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressive Congress (APC) this week.
A source close to the Governor confirmed to The Nation the rumour of his defection to the APC during a meeting with stakeholders in Umahi’s country home in Uburu Ohaozara local government area of the state on Sunday, November 16.
The meeting which was attended by political bigwigs in the state, according to the cource, was to fine tune the planned defection which is said to be gathering momentum as many party chieftains have also indicated their intention to join the Governor in moving to the APC.
Though details of the meeting were not made public, the source said Umahi promised to reshuffle his executive council in December to accommodate members of the APC, and to carry them along in his government.
