The governor of Ebonyi state,
Chief David Umahi, at the weekend said any one who tries to terminate his
second tenure bid will be smashed into ashes.
The governor also claimed that 29
political parties in Abuja, have adopted him as their sole candidate in the
forthcoming general elections.
Umahi made this known while
addressing the people of the old Ohaozara political bloc at a rally organized
by Ohaozara, Onicha and Ivo L.G Areas to adopt him (Umahi) as their sole
candidate for the 2019 election at Obiozara, headquarters of Ohaozara LGA.
“The parties would storm the
state in February to formalize the adoption and anyone who tries us would be
injured because if the person falls on us, he will be grinded into granite and
if we fall on him, he will be grinded into ashes.
He noted that he and his deputy
have accepted to continue this divine work and any one who tries to terminate
it would face God’s anger and might not be there during his swearing-in
ceremony.
“I will pay full attention to the
politics of the general elections from January.1, 2019 and it would be like
sunami, something that has never been seen before.
He noted that Ebonyi state would
record more than 1million votes during the elections, noting that the adoption
of some candidates for other positions was irrevocable.
“They must however work out their
own salvation and take care of the parties, empower the youths and widows in
their constituencies as we would be watching them.
He noted that he was reviewing
his support for some people whom he wanted to call their names but the state’s
deputy governor begged him not to call their names.
“We would withdraw our support
for them, stop infrastructural works in their areas, tell their people that
they are the cause of the stoppage, so that they would be chased with brooms,
umbrella and cocks.
Umahi noted that however, Hon.
Linus Okorie, member representing Ohanivo Federal Constituency and the state
House of Assembly Deputy Speaker, Chief Obasi Odefa would be
returned unopposed.
He urged the people of Abakaliki
bloc to continue supporting him and promised to hand over power to them when he
finishes his second term in 2023.
“You should allow me complete
this my small second tenure because it is sweet and know that any member of
opposition from the south who says he would serve a tenure will be deceiving
the people.
Ealier in a remark, his elder
brother and the South East Zonal Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
Chief Austin Umahi said that the PDP would use Umahi as a tool to take power
from Aso Rock because he is a marketable product.
“We should work harder to achieve
this goal as the public office holders from the south zone would organize a
mega-rally on March.17, to tell the world that only PDP exists in Ebonyi state.
