Ebonyi: They Might Not See Next Christmas – Traditional Rulers Place Curse On Candidates Opposing Umahi

Traditional Rulers in Ebonyi on Wednesday placed curses on individuals challenging the 2023 Senatorial bid of Governor David Umahi.

They warned that such individuals may end up not seeing the next Christmas.

Chairman, South-East Traditional Rulers Council, Chief Charles Mkpuma, made the pronouncement in Uburu, Ohaozara local government area (LGA) of Ebonyi during the official inauguration of Umahi’s Senatorial campaign activities for 2023 elections.

Naija News reports that Umahi is the All Progressives Congress senatorial Candidate for Ebonyi south district.

Mkpuma, while speaking, said the curse would be on anyone who would rise to oppose Umahi’s senatorial ambition.

He subsequently praised Umahi for his achievement in the state, adding that he has made Ebonyi people proud.

“We are fully in support of you, Governor. Anybody in any way moves against our support may not see the next Christmas,” Mkpuma said.

Umahi, while responding to his supporters, stated that he has the capacity and experience to represent not only Ebonyi South but the entire Ebonyi State and Igbo race in general.

According to him, “I am going to the centre to fight for the welfare of Ebonyi people; employment, infrastructure. I am going to fight for the empowerment of Ebonyi people and we will take it by force.”
