President Muhammadu Buhari has commended the Ebonyi State Governor Dave Umahi for his decision to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC), Afriupdate reports.
Buhari, who took to his verified Twitter page to welcome the governor into the party, said that many people will criticise his decision to join the ruling party.
Further commending Umahi taking his decisions without giving space for external influence, Buhari wrote: “I am proud of Governor David Umahi for taking the bold decision to defect to
@OfficialAPCNg in accordance with his conscience and principles rather than any external influence or coercion.
“I commend his boldness for taking this courageous decision in a country where principles are in short supply among many. I know people might call him names, but that is the price men of principle have to pay for acting according to their conscience and convictions.”

Recall that Umahi, earlier in the week, officially dumped the PDP for the APC on the grounds that his former Party PDP was unfair to the Southeastern region.
I commend his boldness for taking this courageous decision in a country where principles are in short supply among many. I know people might call him names, but that is the price men of principle have to pay for acting according to their conscience and convictions.
