Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi has warned members of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, troubling him to know that his meekness is not a
sign of weakness as he has enormous power to act as a governor.
He also reiterated that he did not defect to the All
Progressives Congress (APC) to contest for presidency in 2023.
Umahi spoke on on Sunday during the first APC stakeholders
meeting he was superintending over since his defection to the party.
According to him, who “dash monkey Banana; I did not negotiate
with the presidency or anyone to contest the position under the APC.
“My next line of action after my governorship is in God’s
hands and there is nothing God cannot do.
“Anyone wishing to contest for the presidency or
governorship of the state should meditate and pray that God should not send him
if God’s spirit is not with such person.
“This is because it is going to be very tough and we are
really in the end time,” he said.
He remarked that the leadership of the state would never
come from outside its shores, stating that his meekness should not be mistaken
for weakness.
“We will not allow the PDP to die in the state but still
assist its executives to survive.
“I am still the father of the state and those fighting me
for joining the APC should not cross the line.
“I will never confront a sitting governor but try being his
friend because the powers of government are enormous,” he said.
Umahi announced the nomination of the immediate past APC
state Chairman, Mr Nwachukwu Eze as a commissioner in conformity with the
agreement reached before the dissolution of the party’s erstwhile state
executive committee.
“We should set up committees at the wards and Local
Government Areas to aggressively pursue our membership registration process and
the disbursement of palliatives to our people in December,” he said.
Chief Mike Okoro, an industrialist and APC Stalwart in the
state commended the governor for implementing an all-inclusive policy since
joining the party and urged him not to derail in that regard.

Umahi seems to have gone mad. So belligerent. Umahi is trying to sow chaos and fear in the state to intimidate opponents. Umahi if you sow wind you will reap whirlwind. You want to use terrorism to cause chaos in the state so a state of emergency will be imposed to further the Islamisation agenda of your principals.
