Governor David Umahi says Nigerians kicking against APC’s Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket are only bent on deceiving would-be voters. Mr Umahi also explained that the party is a big house where small squabbles cannot be completely ruled out.

Mr Umahi said this on Monday during an interactive session with journalists while inspecting the ongoing work at the Ebonyi International Airport, Onueke.

Mr Umahi advised Nigerians not to be deceived by the Muslim-Muslim ticket because God is for Christians and Muslims.

“We have a Christian-Christian ticket in Ebonyi, and in other places, you have Muslim-Christian, Christian-Muslim tickets, among others. It is not the ticket that matters but the performance,” the Ebonyi governor explained. “The contention on the same-faith ticket was just a way to deceive the people.” 

The Ebonyi governor said he was not worried about any disputes in the party, adding that APC was still poised to win overwhelmingly in the upcoming elections.

“In every big house, there are vessels of honour and dishonour and all of them work to the glory of God. When there are no small squabbles, how do we tell the stories of our triumph?” noted Mr Umahi. “God has set His table before those who want to destroy us so that His glory will be magnified.”

The governor also noted that he watched the APC rally in Borno and “has never seen such a crowd.”

The governor, regarding APC presidential flag bearer, added, “I don’t know what God wants to do with him, but he is set to answer the prayers of his people. God is set to descend in His majesty on Nigeria because enough is enough.”
