Atiku said; "today's event is a testimony to the fact that Ebonyi is PDP, PDP is Ebonyi.

"This event has made a loudest statement and sent a strong signal across board that PDP is not shaking in Ebonyi State and South East in general.

"For us as a party to continuously emerge victorious in our future elections, PDP must remain peaceful and united at all levels as togetherness is the key to our electoral success.

"We have the numbers, the people, the strength, the strategy and leaders in Ebonyi State.

"The Governor's unfortunate action is a temporary set back which is normal in political setting. Therefore, we must remain undeterred, PDP is remarkably strong and solid in Ebonyi.

"It is only a politically naïve, dumb, visionless and broken person that will leave a smooth sailing, progressive, purposeful and goal oriented ship and jump into a sinking and directionless ship on a voyage to no where.

"We hope one day, Gov. Umahi will be courageous enough to tell Ebonyians the true reasons he left for a sinking ship APC. If he does not, at the appropriate time we shall tell the people.ÔÇØ
