The Ebonyi State Governor David Umahi has been warned not to trade the chances of the South East in 2023 presidential election by his planned defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC) this week.

It was reported that Governor Umahi confirmed his defection during a stakeholders meeting in his Uburu Ohaozara Local Government Area country home on Sunday.

Reacting to the defection yesterday, the National President of apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC), Comrade Igboayaka O. Igboayaka told the Nation that the organisation is not against Umahi joining the APC but such move should not jeopardise the chances of the Ndigbo producing next president of the country in 2023.
