Foremost political group the South South Youth Coalition For APC SSYC4A has called on the people of Edo State to discountenance the purported Withdrawal of Dr. Ernest Umakhihe from the Edo governorship race. 

The group described the news flying about as false stressing that the former permanent secretary is still in the race. 

The group in a statement signed by its Edo State coordinator Anderson Ikhagu said there is nothing that will distract Dr Umakhihe from actualising the dream of seeing Dr Ernest Umakhihe occupy the Edo State Government House this year. 

The group said the statement credited to one of the aides of the governorship hopeful is not a true reflection of the position of things as regards the Edo governorship primaries. 

He said the All Progressives Congress APC is a party that believes in democratic tenets and will not fizzle out aspirants like Ernest Umakhihe who have genuine intention of bringing about positive growth for the people of Edo State. 

Comrade Ikhagu while reiterating the preparedness of the South South Youth Coalition For APC SSYC4A to drum support for Dr Umakhihe, called on Edo people to continue to pray for the success of the Ernest Umakhihe governorship bid stressing that it will be a win win situation for the people of the state and the South South geopolitical region.
