Works minister Umahi’s ally dumps APC in Ebonyi over consensus arrangement
An aspirant for the Ebonyi Central senatorial district seat, Christian Nwali, has dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Mr Nwali, an ally of the Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, was among the aspirants not favoured by the consensus arrangement adopted by the Ebonyi APC in its primary elections.
In a letter addressed to the state APC Chairman, Ekpelu Ward in Ikwo LGA, he stated that his resignation was “with immediate effect.”
“This decision is personal and made after careful reflection. I am grateful for the opportunities and experiences I had during my time in the party. This serves as an official notice of my formal withdrawal from party activities and responsibilities,” the letter read in part.
Contacted for clarification on why he dumped the APC and his next political move, he declined further comments.
“There is no need for such clarifications,” said the APC chieftain.
