Defection: Fani-Kayode’s Claim An Insult On My Person, Other Govs – Gov Umahi

Sept. 17, 2021

Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi, has countered Former Minister of Aviation, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode’s claim that he contributed to his (Umahi’s) defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

“I think he needs to withdraw that statement, he’s my good friend but, it was an insult on my person and the other governors,” Umahi said on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday.

“The man did not know when I moved, but incidentally he visited me and we discussed, and he said he was coming to join me with the other governors to declare.

“How will somebody in the PDP be instrumental to my moving?” Umahi asked.
