Ebonyi State Governor David Umahi has said that his party’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, loves the Igbo contrary to insinuations.
The governor spoke on Wednesday at Iboko, headquarters of Izzi Local Government Area while flagging off the party’s campaigns across the 13 council areas of the state.
Umahi, the Chairman of the South-East Governors’ Forum, described the insinuation as ‘unfounded’, urging the people to vote for Tinubu and all APC candidates at the forthcoming general elections.
“Igbos prospered under Tinubu as Lagos governor and they are still prospering. We are not sentimental and will follow the man who knows the road.

“Tinubu will take care of Ebonyi the way President Muhammadu Buhari is presently doing,” said Umahi.
He urged the people of Izzi to massively support the APC governorship candidate, Francis Nwifuru, who is currently the Speaker of the House of Assembly.
“It is the turn of the Izzi clan to be governor in the land they gave us and nothing will take it away from them.
“Nwifuru has been under my tutelage for the past 16 years and he is eminently qualified to continue with the divine mandate philosophy,” he said.
