Governorship aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Adol Awam, has debunked claimed that he is being sponsored by Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi, stating that the governor is incapable of sponsoring anyone for the position come 2019 general elections.
The APC chieftain, who declared his intention to via for gubernatorial post in APC platform, denied being sponsored by the present government of the state,
He said for any candidate to defeat Governor Umahi he must come from the North senatorial zone considering the zone’s numerical strength, political awareness and achievements in Ebonyi political arena.
According to him, as a strong politician from Ebonyi North senatorial zone which has the highest capacity and strength in the state, I stand the chance of winning the 2019 general election and becoming the next Governor of the State and I want to state that Governor Umahi can never sponsor and will never contribute to my governorship ambition.
The aspirant expressed optimism that the APC would win the 2019 general election without any hitch in the state adding that his administration would give priority to the welfare of Ebonyians and industrialization of the state.
“I heard the rumour making the round that the Governor is behind the clarion call of my people to contest the forthcoming gubernatorial election come 2019. This is a lie of the highest order, laughable and a tantrum thrown by frustrated people who are apprehensive of my outing to respond to the call of my people.
