To paint a make-believe picture portraying that all Ebonyi people have approved and endorsed his defection from the People Democratic Party – PDP to the All Progressive Congress APC, Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State boast that 4 million Ebonyi people followed him to APC.

But been oblivious of the fact that the population per State is in the public domain, Governor David Umahi has forgotten to consider that in
2006 general census, Ebonyi had a population of 2.1 million and will hit 3 million in December 2020.

So where did Umahi got 4 million people for Ebonyi State, knowledgeable Nigerians are asking.
