He visited the Ebonyi State governor, David Umahi at the presidential lodge old government House Abakalaiki.
Kwankwaso maintained that himself and Umahi weren’t happy with the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) adding that they decided to leave the party because of the many wrongs of the party.
He expressed the regret that Umahi left for the APC so early and noted that, his early entrant into the party was part of his great mistakes.
He said “We formed APC and produced the president in 2015, unfortunately, what we were angry with PDP became worst in APC”.
The NNPP presidential candidate noted that APC gave its presidential ticket to the wrong person pointing out that he would have been happy, if Umahi or Nyesom Wike became the President of the Nigeria.
