The Executive Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi has stepped down from the presidential race for the current Senate President, Ahmad Lawan ahead of the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary on Monday, next week.
Umahi’s withdrawal from the presidential primaries of the All Progressives Congress now means that the chances of the South East region in the much-anticipated APC primaries next week has taken a hit.
Umahi defected from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2020 and was touted to create an opening for the Igbo presidency in the ruling party.
