He 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.”
