Just a day after the Ebonyi State Council of Traditional Rulers, led by Eze Charles Mpkuma, supported President Muhammadu Buhari for another 4 years, the council has once again ‘adopted’ and promised former Vice President Abubakar Atiku 90 per cent of their votes in the same election.
The Chairman of the Council of Traditional Rulers, Mkpuma, said that although the kings had told President Buhari that he was going to receive some votes from the state, PDP candidates are more of a priority for the council.
His words, “We humbly attribute the success achieved so far by our dear governor to your great party, the PDP. Accordingly, we wish to state unequivocally that our state, Ebonyi, is a PDP state and we shall overwhelmingly vote for all PDP candidates.
Indeed, not less than 90 per cent of our votes, notwithstanding the fact that we had assured His Excellency, the President that he would get some votes in Ebonyi.”
