2023 is Too Far to Discuss Politics – Umahi
POLITICS DIGEST – Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi has said that he has more important issues to address in the state, arguing that it is too early to talk about 2023 politics now.
In a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Francis Nwaze, the governor noted that he could not be distracted by desperate people who were hungry for power and not even for the betterment of the people.
