Barely 24
hours after the Ebonyi State Council of Traditional Rulers, led by Eze Charles
Mpkuma, threw its weight behind the re-election bid of President Muhammadu
Buhari, the council has also ‘adopted’ and assured former Vice President
Abubakar Atiku 90 per cent of their people’s votes in the February 16
presidential poll.
Addressing
members of the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate’s entourage in
the Exco Chamber, the Chairman of the Council of Traditional Rulers, Mkpuma,
pointed out that although the monarchs had assured President Buhari that he
would get some votes in Ebonyi, the council would vote overwhelming for all PDP
candidates.
He said, “We humbly attribute the
success achieved so far by our dear governor to your great party, the PDP.
Accordingly, we wish to state unequivocally that our state, Ebonyi, is a PDP
state and we shall overwhelmingly vote for all PDP candidates. Indeed, not less
than 90 per cent of our votes, notwithstanding the fact that we had assured His
Excellency, the President that he would get some votes in Ebonyi.”
