Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State has pledged his loyalty and support for President Muhammadu Buhari’s second term: “‎I have always said that APC is one man and that’s the President.  The President is a man with good character and that’s why we are supporting him and he is supporting Ebonyi State. Ebonyi State is very dear in the heart of the President but not in the hearts of the masqueraders who have not given anybody chalk.”

“If APC will get a vote in Ebonyi State, it will get vote by the President alone and nobody else. We have seen the need for unity in Ebonyi State. We’ve seen the need for equity and fair play in the land of Ebonyi and God is helping us so much in this direction because that’s why we have absolute peace in Ebonyi State and that’s why there is no other party.”

“People have been deceiving our people for years. Every time they deceive our people and they have had opportunity to buy houses in ‎Abuja. Whom have they   sent to school? Whom have they paid their school fees. The time of deceit is gone.”
