The Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi, says he prays that God gives Nigeria another President with a “good heart” like President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023, for the good of the nation.
Nonetheless, he said it was too early to engage in the politics of 2023 as he observed that it is a distraction to the President and State Governors.
He spoke on Monday to journalists after he visited Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He also disclosed that members of different political parties from the Southeast were working to ensure that the major parties concede their presidential tickets to the region.
His words: “I’m very much entrenched 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 Southeast and by extension, Governors of APC.
“My position about what you ask is that our people that are in those political parties are making the efforts in selling the need for Southeast to produce the next president.
“But I think both the Governors and Mr. President should not be distracted. When the elections done and won, it should be governance. But in this country, the moment the election is completed, the next one starts is the masses that are being cheated.
“So, those whose job politics and who are not into elected position, or appointed position have all the time and the opportunity to do this canvassing. And I think that doing it and that doing it very well.
“But I continue to say that power rests in the hands of God; and God will also give us the next president who has good heart like President Buhari for the good of this country.
