Fred Udeogu-led Caretaker Committee of the Ebonyi State Peoples Democratic Party has condemned the reported endorsement of Governor David Umahi for 2023 presidential by the National Association of Nigerian Students.
In a statement by the state PDP Publicity Secretary, Silas Onu, on Sunday, the party said that NANS simply made a jeering of itself by endorsing a man who had zero empathy for the empowerment of students.
NANS at its 65th Emergency Senate meeting held at the Ecumenical Centre, Abakaliki, endorsed Umahi as their choice for the presidential election comes 2023.
But the PDP said, “My immediate reaction was, President of what? It then dawned on me that NANS and the people (warriors) in Dave’s government are one and the same.
“No student body worthy of its name will endorse a governor who has zero interest in education. Once again, I challenge the governor to mention just one person that has received any form of scholarship from his administration since 2015. There is none and so, I won’t expect any response.”
