The National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Adams Oshiomhole has called on the Governor of Ebonyi State, chief David Umahi to tender apology for denying the party the use of the Abakaliki township stadium for their rally in the state.
Oshiomhole made this call while addressing party faithful in Ebonyi during the APC rally that took place at the APC ground, beside the Offia Nwali flyover, presco junction, Abakaliki.
He said that the governor should not overuse his powers, adding that he (Adams) felt bad when he heard that the governor whom he described as his friend could deny his party the use of the township stadium.
He said: “When the people are determined, no obstacle will stop them. I hope he will apologize to his people for denying them access to the stadium.
“I was governor before, I allowed PDP access to the stadium as many times as they wanted. It is just about being civilized. And any time, the President is coming to the state, I rolled red carpet to receive him even when I will abuse the party the following day. Assuming that everybody matters is a hallmark of leadership.
“When you refuse to display power, when everybody knows you have it, you even become more powerful. When you abuse power, you simply become so small and so powerless. Let me say this, two weeks ago we were in Ekiti and that was my first question paper after my election.
“My dear friend there. He is even my aboromi (younger friend), Fayose said he is a rock. If he falls on you he will crush you and if you fall on him you get crushed. Now, within 24hours, he was on the ground crying. I said, no, why should you cry? I was to travel to Ekiti, but PDP government stopped me.
