I have performed and it\u2019s not about the party, it\u2019s about the leadership of the state,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cThere is no PDP in Ebonyi state, and if you\u2019ve witnessed our programmes of late, you\u2019d have noticed the number of people that came out.<\/p>\n So, the PDP should not even talk. They are not even second in ranking in Ebonyi state. So there\u2019s nothing like structure.\u201d<\/p>\n The Ebonyi governor stated that the delay in the commencement of the APC\u2019s presidential campaign will not hurt the party\u2019s chances at the polls.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have many months to elections and we have many months to campaign,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cThe first to start does not translate to the first to finish. So, the APC is a bank and they are coming up with programmes. It will soon happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Governor Umahi Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi has stated that the Peoples Democratic Party has no structure in his state.
