The Minister of Works, David Umahi, has downplayed the
possibility of a quarrel with his successor, Governor Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi
State.
Umahi said he would never quarrel with Nwifuru, whom he
described as ‘a worthy son.’
Reports had it that some of Umahi’s loyalists who ensured
Nwifuru’s emergence are being marginalized.
The alleged marginalization is believed to be causing a rift
within Umahi and Nwifuru’s camp.
However, Umahi said he had no regrets risking his life and
fighting for Nwifuru’s emergence as governor.
The minister spoke in Abakaliki during a reception organised
by Nwifuru in honour of former political office holders in the state.
“I have no regrets knowing and trusting him for 16 years as
only few persons present can boast of relationships that last for such periods.
“The most beautiful thing is that Nwifuru knows everything
we did as there was nothing such as projects that did not pass through him.
“Any one who prays not to reap where he sows should keep
such prayer.
“I will not apologise to those who feel offended by my
actions again because I have done so while leaving office.
“All my mistakes and successes have been inherited by
Nwifuru as we made friends and enemies together.
“I urge everyone to be patient with the governor because he
has good intentions to develop the state,” he said.
