PDP Nominates Candidate to Replace Umahi as Governor

The People’s Democratic Party, PDP has replaced the sacked Governor of Ebonyi State, David Umahi with Iduma Igariwey.

PDP National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, who disclosed this during a press conference on Tuesday in Abuja, commended the judgement of the Judiciary.

Ayu, who appreciated the Judiciary, said the verdict will bring order in the political space and check the issue of political rascality and stolen mandates.

The Chairman noted that the Party also nominated Fred Udeogu as Deputy Governor.

Recall that a Federal High Court in Abuja had sacked Governor Umahi and his Deputy, Eric Kelechi Igwe, following their defection from the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
