Former Governor of Ebonyi State, Chief Martin Elechi, was on Thursday, spotted bowing before the Executive Governor of Ebonyi State, David Nweze Umahi.
In the picture which is currently trending online, Elechi can be seen bowing before Umahi while extending a handshake.
9news Nigeria recalls that Elechi and Umahi had a misunderstanding towards the 2015 Governorship Election after Umahi emerged as the Peoples Democratic Party candidate.
Also, in 2015, before the primaries of the different parties in the state were held, the general impression was that whoever emerged as the candidates of the ruling PDP in the state must first have the ‘blessing’ or ‘anointing’ of Governor Elechi and his key associates or allies.
But contrary to the ‘predictions’, candidates who were given the PDP tickets for the various offices, never received the nod of the governor; indeed, they all got the tickets against the wish of Elechi.
The development, somehow, caused some problems for the PDP and created room for opposition in the state, using the LP, said to be backed by the government.
However, with recent happening, it seems both leaders have reconciled as this is the second time they can be seen together this year.
