The Fred Udeogu-led Caretaker Committee of the Ebonyi State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has defined the endorsement of Governor David Umahi for the 2023 presidential race by the National Association of Nigerian Students as a prank.
NANS at its 65th Emergency Senate meeting held at the Ecumenical Centre, Abakaliki, ratified Umahi as their choice for the 2023 presidential race.
The state PDP Publicity Secretary, Silas Onu, has said in statement on Sunday that the Students association made a prank of itself by endorsing a man who had zero empathy for the plight of students,
The PDP statement read in part, “My hasty reaction was, It then dawned on me that NANS and the people (warriors) in Dave’s government are the same.
“Lastly, No student body admirable of its name will endorse a governor who has zero curiosity in propelling education.
“Once again, I challenge the governor to kindly mention a single person that has received any form of scholarship from his administration since 2015 in-office, There is no one and so, I won’t expect any response.”
