According to the President, "Good governance is very important to us in the APC, and I’m glad that the governor has cited this as a major factor in his decision to join us. I urge our citizens to pay less emphasis on identity politics if we want our democracy to make a positive impact on our country."
He noted that "with men like Umahi, I foresee a brighter future for our democracy because the voters will be more motivated by performance records of parties and their candidates."
"Let me once again; commend the boldness of Governor Umahi for taking this courageous decision in a country where principles are in short supply among many. I know people might call him names, but that is the price men of principles have to pay for acting according to their conscience and convictions" President Buhari added.
