  Senator Eyinnaya Araribe, Senate Minority leader, has once again accused the Buhari-led Government of not recognizing citizens from the South East, saying that the only person from that region in the Aso Villa is a photographer. Abaribe said this on Friday as a guest on Channels Television’s programme Sunrise Daily in reaction to Governor David Umahi’s defection from People’s Democratic Party, PDP, to the All Progressives Congress, APC. Araribe had earlier in the week said the PDP was unfazed by Umahi’ defection and also believes the governor’s movement will be gauged properly when it’s time for the 2023 elections. His words: “Let us assume Governor Umahi is bringing the South East, as he says, into the mainstream because that was what I heard yesterday. What is the mainstream? Is it the Aso Villa that belongs to all of us that you cannot find a single person from the South East, except a photographer?   “Before every part of this country was represented in the Aso Villa, so...

*PDP is not unfair to South-East Ebonyi State Governor, Dave Umahi quest to be All Progressives Congress presidential candidate and not alleged injustice meted on the South East by the Peoples Democratic Party, has been blamed for his defection. Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, who made this assertion, said committed members of the PDP   were not surprised that Governor Umahi on Tuesday formally defected to the APC, which he has for a while been fraternising with. Governor Wike, said ordinarily he would not have been perturbed by Umahi’s decision to defect to the APC, but, he felt offended by his attempt to justify his decision on the purported injustice meted on the South East by the PDP. The Rivers State governor accused Umahi of being unfair to the PDP which gave him governorship ticket in 2015 against all odds, and repeated same feat in 2019. He noted that while Umahi has a right to move to the APC, but for him to attempt to blackmail the PDP and paint it in a ba...
