Governor Umahi, while declaring for APC, said that Ebonyi is presently 99.9 per cent APC as he left the remainder for the national assembly members among other non defectors.
Umahi said : “Do not castigate them because they are looking for something and will come back when they get it, they are my children and I love them very much as the father of the state.
“We also have 400 members of boards and commissions, 560 LGA management committee members, 130 LGA supervisors, the entire chairmen of the 13 LGAs, party chairmen in the councils areas, all the state legislators among others are in this movement.
He urged political stakeholders in the southeast zone to move en masse to the APC because it is time for the zone to move to the centre.
