Wife of Ebonyi State Governor, Mrs. Rachel Umahi, on Monday, called on the leadership of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, especially at various ward levels, to eschew rancour and unite.

This, she said, has become necessary so as not to give the opposition parties the opportunity to win the 2019 governorship election in the state.

Mrs. Umahi made the call in Onueke Township Stadium during the inauguration of Rachel Umahi Women for Akubaraoha 2019, Ezza South Local Government Area chapter.

This was even as she appealed to the different communities in the council area to embrace peace which she described as a panacea for growth and sustainable development.

She noted that there was no need for division and bickering since they had common mission which is majorly to hold firm control of the state’s government as well as supporting the present government in the state led by Engr. David Umahi to succeed.
