The Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi, has alleged that his main challenger for the Ebonyi South Senatorial District All Progressives Congress ticket, Ann Agom-Eze, demanded N20 million from him.
In an interview with Arise TV on Friday, Umahi claimed that Agom-Eze was never the candidate of the APC for the senate at any point in time and had no grounds to challenge his emergence as the APC candidate.
Chronicling the events, Umahi said, “There was a primary election of APC for Ebonyi South senatorial zone on May 28th, upon which Ann Agom-Eze came second by winning two votes and Austin Umahi won by 283 votes. By the electoral act, Austin became the candidate of the party.
“There was never at any time that Agom-Eze became the candidate of the party.
