HURIWA in a statement issued by its National Coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko, said the group’s withdrawal was anchored on the widespread electoral violence recorded before and during the 2023 general elections in the home state of the governor and the Senator-Elect for Ebonyi South Senatorial District in the incoming 10th National Assembly.
The group also condemned the use of the state-owned security outfit, Ebubeagu, to intimidate political opponents of Umahi, whose eight-year tenure as governor ends on May 29. “In view of this overwhelming evidence of violence before, during and after the election we regret to withdraw our recent endorsement of the Ebonyi governor as best suited for Senate President. In fact we are making plans to drag the governor to the UK government to ask for the travel ban.
The group said the governor also spewed politically intolerant utterances before February 25 while also reiterating for previous incriminating remakes he made in the past on other media outlets, when he said there is no other political party in Ebonyi apart from APC and told opponents to shut up.
Umahi the emperor of Ebonyi state.
Wike did same thing that's why Umahi was saying Tinubu should look for a position for wike in APC government...they rigged with reckless abandon both in the presidential and gubernatorial elections and we can't do anything about it. A hopeless situation.
