President Muhammadu Buhari has commended
David Umahi, governor of Ebonyi state, over his
defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC)
from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

On Tuesday, Umahi announced his defection to the
APC, saying he left his former party because of
injustice.

In a statement on Wednesday, Garba Shehu,
presidential spokesman, quoted Buhari as praising
Umahi.

Buhari reportedly described the action of the
Ebonyi governor “as a bold move driven purely by
principle rather than opportunistic motives”.

“I am proud of Governor David Umahi for taking
this bold decision in accordance with his conscience
and principles rather than any external influence
or coercion,” the president was quoted to have
said.

“Good governance is very important to us in the
APC, and I’m glad that the governor has cited
this as a major factor in his decision to join us. I
urge our citizens to pay less emphasis on identity
politics if we want our democracy to make a
positive impact on our country.

“With men like Umahi, I foresee a brighter future
for our democracy because the voters will be more
motivated by performance records of parties and
their candidates.

“Let me once again; commend the boldness of
Governor Umahi for taking this courageous
decision in a country where principles are in short
supply among many.”
