Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi state miscalculated. His permutation failed him completely. Although he (Governor David Umahi) bought the APC presidential ticket, he knew he was not going to win the APC presidential primary. But then, he believed that the Senate president, Senator Ahmad Lawan, would get the APC presidential ticket, which would at least give him the running mate position. Somehow, when one is planning to do things as it pleases him through manipulation, one should bear in mind that the outcome may backfire. Governor David Umahi has lost both ways. His APC senatorial ticket has a question mark and his presidential bid has been thrown into the trash box, including being running mate for Senator Ahmad Lawan, assuming things had gone the way he planned. This is one of the reasons Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State is not happy with the way the APC presidential primary was conducted. Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi state has caused lots of pain to the people of his state. He may likely receive more shocks in the near future when the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission of Nigeria invites him to come and give an account of how Ebonyi state money was spent. He is a very corrupt leader. Although the way the APC presidential primary was conducted was not good, the presidential ticket should have been zoned to the south east, but then, even if it was zoned to the south east, it would still not be given to governor David Umahi because there are more credible individuals in the south east who would fly the APC presidential flag nicely. Certainly not the likes of Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi state.
