Umahi stated these during the internment of the father to the Commissioner for Trade and Investment, Chioma Nweze, in Okposi, calling on Wike for a debate.
According to Umahi, the Rivers Governor wants to be president, I want to be president, let us do a debate so that the world would see how intelligent he is.”
