Umahi Cautions Ndigbo Against Attacking Govt In Power

Outgoing Governor of Ebonyi State and Senator Elect of Ebonyi South Senatorial zone, Chief David Umahi has called on Ndigbo especially politicians from Igbo extraction to at all times support the Government in power and stop the constant attacks of Government at the center.

Governor also urged Ndigbo to rally round the incoming Presidency of Ahmed Bola Tinubu to mainstream the region into the scheme of things in the country.

Governor Umahi who is the chairman of the South East Governor’s Forum made the call during a Thanksgiving/dedication of Certificates of Return issued to all elected persons on the platform of APC in the State at the Christian Ecumenical Centre, Abakaliki, Sunday.

He appealed to those who had different interest in the elections to put behind them the outcomes and embrace the will of God in the affairs of the Nation.

“The South East people, the elections have come and gone, if it has pleased God that the President-elect will not be, he wouldn’t have given him victory but he has given him victory, so I tell our people, it is time to begin to do things to respect God.

“It is time for the Igbos to support the Government in power, it is time for the Igbos to stop attacking Government in power.”

He appealed to all and sundry to close ranks with the incoming administration at the centre in order to rebuild the Nation for peace and economic stability.

“The elections have come and gone; it is time to rebuild our Nation. Before the election I told you that Tinubu will win and now he has won, whom God has given victory, no man can stop.”

“When I stood on equity, justice and fairness, I made enemies, but the enemies are the enemies I am happy I made but God is the God of equity, justice and fairness.

“The Office of the Governor is very challenging, it has always been very challenging, we had two recessions, we have the COVID and people that wanted to destroy our society, the #ENDSARS, but we survived all these, so we have to be grateful to God.

The governor also counselled Leaders to deemphasize gossips in their affairs in order not to be led astray.
