David Umahi, governor of Ebonyi, says the Igbo prospered
under Bola Tinubu, standard bearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), when
he was governor of Lagos.
According to NAN, Umahi spoke on Wednesday at Izzi LGA while
flagging off the APC’s campaign across the 13 council areas of the state.
The governor said Tinubu would take care of Ebonyi residents
the way President Muhammadu Buhari is doing.
“Igbos prospered under Tinubu as Lagos governor and they are still prospering,” he said.
“We are not
sentimental and will follow the man who knows the road.
“Tinubu will take care of Ebonyi the way President Muhammadu
Buhari is presently doing.”
Umahi also said the people of Izzi should massively support
Francis Nwifuru, Ebonyi APC governorship candidate, who is currently the
speaker of the state house of assembly.
“It is the turn of
the Izzi clan to be governor in the land they gave us and nothing will take it
away from them,” he said.
“Nwifuru has been under my tutelage for the past 16 years
and he is eminently qualified to continue with the divine mandate philosophy.
“When it was the turn of the south to produce the governor,
Izzi people and the entire Ekumenyi bloc massively supported me. It is
presently your turn and the southern district, and others should support you.”
On his part, Nwifuru said if elected, he would run an open
government.
“I will run my
government on the principle of the people’s charter of needs, based on open
governance and performance management,” the hopeful said.
“I will make decisions through citizens’ inputs and focus on
outcomes and outputs.”
