President Muhammadu Buhari has reacted to the defection of Ebonyi state governor, David Umahi, to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). The president who commended Governor Umahi described his defection as a bold move which was mainly driven by principles.
This is contained in the statement released on Wednesday, November 18, by the president's senior special assistant on media and publicity, Garba Shehu.
President Buhari said: "I am proud of Governor David Umahi for taking this bold decision in accordance with his conscience and principles rather than any external influence or coercion.
President Buhari added that the future of Nigeria's democracy is brighter with men like Governor Umahi. He noted that some people may call the governor names for dumping the PDP but said that is the price men of principles have to pay for acting according to their conscience and convictions.
