The Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, has claimed that he killed the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, when he left the party and is willing to ensure that the party remains dead.
Umahi made the claims during the inspection of the Abakaliki-Afikpo section of the Cross River-Ebonyi-Benue-Abuja Trans-Saharan Highway.
He also described the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike as his good friend and brother.
Umahi disclosed that there is no Rainbow Coalition in Ebonyi State where he hails from.
According to Umahi: “Wike is my good friend and brother, but there is no rainbow coalition in Ebonyi State. If Wike has candidates here, he has not told me, but his candidates cannot break our relationship.
“I killed the PDP when I left PDP, whether they are alive again and if they are alive we have to unalive them because the PDP did not treat the people of the Southeast well.
“We supported the PDP, voted for presidents in the PDP and when it was our time for them to honour us they did not honour us, they maltreated us but we have hope in APC and all the candidates of APC in Ebonyi State.
“My position and that of the governor is that anybody that wants to campaign in Ebonyi is free but if you want to foment crisis, we will run you out of the state. Nobody can foment crisis in Ebonyi State.”
