Controversial erstwhile Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has reacted to the defection of Ebonyi State Governor, Dave Umahi from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Fayose reiterated that the defection of Umahi to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has nothing to do with the interest of the Igbo nation.
The former Ekiti Governor fingered that Governor Umahi had defected to APC long before he announced his intention to part with the party.
The PDP chieftain describing Ebnoyi’s first citizen’s action as unjustifiable move, which clearly has nothing to do with the interest of the Igbo nation.
In his words, Fayose stated in a tweet on Wednesday: “Gov Umahi defected to APC long ago before this unjustifiable move, which clearly has nothing to do with the interest of the Igbo nation.
“This is a reflection of the type of leadership our country parades.
“Though his action dampens hope for liberation, however, I’m sure Nigerians will laugh last because sometimes, it will appear to have gotten so bad before it will begin to get better.”
Umahi who defected to APC had anchored his decision on PDP’s marginalization of the South East.
