The people rooting for Umahi are relying on the fact that the Southeast region where he hails from has not produced the President of the country since the return of democracy in 1999.
Available indicators have shown that the game plan of other presidential hopeful in APC might change with the ongoing plot in the ruling party to field Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State as the presidential candidate in 2023.
According to a report by Tribune Newspaper, APC is currently considering Dave Umahi as the flagbearer of the party in 2023.
The report revealed that Umahi who is an ally of President Muhammadu Buhari has become a regular mention in the projection for the APC presidential ticket.
The ongoing agitation for Igbo presidency may also favor Dave Umahi over other influential politicians eyeing the presidential ticket of the ruling party.

With the recent revelation, other political players who want to fly the ticket of APC might need to change their game plan to win the support of the stakeholders of the party who are plotting to bring Umahi as the party’s flagbearer in 2023.
