Chief Linus Okorie, the Labour Party (LP) candidate for Ebonyi South Senatorial District in the last general election on Wednesday, said he had no personal grudges against Gov. David Umahi.
Okorie told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abakaliki that he was only pursuing his political ambitions.
Umahi and Okorie were political allies until Okorie nursed the ambition to contest for the Senatorial seat on the platform of LP.
They are currently engaged in a legal battle for the senatorial seat which was won by Umahi.
Okorie had filed a petition at the election tribunal against Umahi’s declaration as a winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
However, Okorie’s action has not gone down well with Umahi who had expressed concern that one of his political allies was now challenging him
