David Umahi, governor of Ebonyi,
says “intense prayers” will be offered to God to choose who will succeed him by
2023.
Umahi said this on Sunday while
speaking at a thanksgiving service in Abakaliki, the state capital.
He said prayer sessions will be
held especially to “disgrace” all those who are going to occultist groups or
herbalists ahead of the next governorship election in the state.
The governor said politicians
often snub the state’s functions for those held outside in the hope of influencing
the leadership, but that they will not succeed.
“A lot of our people, when there
is programme here they will not come but when there is programme outside the
state, they will go there believing that the leadership of this state can be
influenced from outside,” he said.
“We have come of age, and nobody
can influence the elective or appointive positions in this state from outside
the state. It is not possible.
“And all those people who are
going to occultists or herbalists on this, as far as I came in the name of the
Lord they will all be disgraced.
“The next crop of leaders will
come from God in this state and intense prayers will be carried out on this in
all the local government areas. It is going to be a battle because the soul of
this state is at stake. The light has come in Ebonyi state and nobody can
quench the light.”
Umahi described politicians as
the “most ungrateful people to God”.
According to him, “when God has
delivered you, the next move is to start looking for another post, it’s a very
terrible thing.”
