Calls for Igbo presidency in 2023 is distracting - Umahi
Meanwhile, Umahi says calls for the Igbo presidency in 2023 were too early and distracting.
He made this statement while speaking with newsmen after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday, September 6, at the Presidential Villa.
Umahi advised Southeast governors and APC governors to focus on projects that would bring about development in their state, region and the country at large.
He said:
“Well, for me, I’m very much interested in completing my projects. And I will look into politics when my tenure is remaining one year, which is from May 29, 2022. And I think it is the same thing with other governors of South East and by extension, governors of APC."
