Shame As Ebonyi Governor Dave Umahi’s Younger Brother Austin Umahi Rejects Buhari’s Appointment. Says, He Is Too Big For Such Job ......... The immediate younger brother to Ebonyi state Governor, Mr Austin Umahi has rejected President Muhammadu Buhari’s appointment as the Secretary of Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission(RMAFC). He said the appointment was not for person of his social status. In a statement issued in Abakaliki, Austin Umahi said that the appointment was good for job seekers or retired civil servant and not for someone of his social status. He announced that anyone who is interested in the position should contact the Governor because as far as he is concerned, the position was still vacant. He said: “Let me deeply appreciate each and everyone of you that sent his or her congratulatory message and numerous calls for my appointment as the RAMFC Secretary. “I am honestly humbled by this show of love, however I regret to inform you that I declined the appointment because it is at best for job seekers or retired civil servants or better still anyone who loves the job and secondly, I am convinced that at my age and work experience it is not in doubt that I know what I want in life”. “Please if you are interested in the position do not hesitate to approach our indefatigable governor to do the needful because as far as I am concerned the position is still vacant. Thanks and God bless”. Austin Umahi who emerged the candidate of the All Progressives Congress withdrew from the race for Governor Umahi. However, INEC refused to accept the senior Umahi’s candidacy for the position forcing him to sue INEC. The court however agreed that INEC was right to refuse publishing his name as candidate of the party for as the second primary which he won was not follow the stipulations of the electoral act. The court ordered for a fresh primary election within 14 days. GUYS, WHAT DO YOU THINK? ,..,..... #daveumahi #EbonyiState #Ebonyi #BuhariTormentor .............

The year 2023 indeed has a lot in stock for Nigeria and in particular, Ebonyi state. The soul of Ebonyi White House would be battled by two major political parties. These two parties according to political observers are both strong. That's for political observers anyway. The views of the political players are different, robust and detailed. The political players no doubt see political happenings and as well foresee future political event(s) from a different prism. There are certain inalienable factors that would serve as springboards for the political occurrences of 2023 in Ebonyi. As a good student of the happenings in Ebonyi polity even before this current democratic dispensation and somewhat player too, these below-elaborated factors remain indispensable in sharpening the political events of the fast-approaching 2023: •The ills of the current government: Both the current Buhari and Umahi led federal and state governments have inflicted Ebonyians nay Nigerians with so much hunger_one that worsens as the day passes by. Here in Ebonyi, we depend a lot on the government to make ends meet. Almost everyone revolves around the government house reason given to why the jostle for appointments is obvious here. The rat race manner in which the youths pursue theirs on Facebook is a testimonial to my submission_a situation whereby one has to blackmail to eke a living and a situation whereby youths are rewarded with either appointment or gift items for blackmailing co youths and those in positions of authority set a bad precedent. It is no doubt a wrong reward system and all must rise to condemn it! •The mindset of the so-called followers of the current Umahi led government: The followers or better put appointees of the current Umahi led government exude hunger and starvation by all standards. Only an infinitesimal proportion is smiling. This is the fact! The mindsets of those Governor Umahi prides in as his followers spell indecision. Their body languages are such that should make Umahi dread them more than those who were bold enough to quit their appointments. To say the least, they spew invectives and venoms on the government in their closet and hail same in the open. Their appetite appears their gods sorry to say. Their jumping ship to where the action is, is ultimately foreseeable. •Kingmakers: this factor is indispensable in any political setting. That is an unarguable fact. A greater percentage of those who brought the current Umahi led government to power are in Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) leaving the Governor romancing those he had beat hands down in 2015 and 2019 elections respectively and a few others still learning on the job. This factor thus offers All Progressive Congress(APC) as a party slim chances of governing Ebonyi state. Away from that, Ebonyi has continued to be a PDP state right from 1999 and the order can't be altered now vis-à-vis the blatant failure of APC-led government. Expect more on this from my stables.

Femi Adesina Reveals Ebonyi Governor Umahi Can Contest For President In 2023. ....... #ebonyistate #femiadesina #election2023 #nigeriadecides2023 #edesonpoliticalupdates #davidumahi #daveumahi #apc Femi Adesina, Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), says Ebonyi State Governor, Dave Umahi, can contest for president in the 2023 elections. He said though the ruling All Progressives Congress has not come out with its zoning formula, Umahi has the right to aspire for any position in government "as long as he can muster the needed support and momentum for victory". Adesina in a piece on Friday titled, 'Dave Umahi's Heart of Lion', praised the Ebonyi State governor for having the courage to dump the opposition Peoples Democratic Party for the APC. The president's spokesman wrote, "Umahi had always loved and respected President Muhammadu Buhari, and never hid it, though they were of different political parties. And the President reciprocated in like manner. In fact, the first State the President ever visited in the country and passed the night, was Ebonyi. Umahi was PDP in the exterior, but APC at heart. "My first inkling of what was on the way was about two years ago. There was a meeting of Progressive Governors (as those elected on the platform of APC are called), and Gov Umahi had sent his deputy to attend. A PDP man among APC Governors? Something was definitely cooking. "Now, the deed has been done. Gov Umahi has done what Napoleon couldn’t do. He has officially crossed from the PDP to APC. Only a man with the heart of a lion could do that." NEWSMEN had earlier reported that the APC National Executive Committee on Tuesday approved waivers for Umahi and others who just joined the party to contest elective positions on the party's platform without waiting for a particular number of years. Umahi, who defected last month from the PDP to the APC, had complained of marginalisation of the South-East zone by the PDP as one of his reasons for leaving the party.

The Ebonyi Command of the Nigeria Police Force has confirmed the killing of one Boniface Nwoha, 29, by unknown gunmen at a drinking joint at Amika Abba area of Abakaliki. The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Loveth Odah, confirmed the incident to newsmen in Abakaliki. She said that full investigation into the murder had commenced and assured residents that the perpetrators of the crime would be arrested and brought to justice. Odah said: “The case has been referred to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for thorough investigation. “The police will unravel the cause of the murder and ensure that everyone involved in the act is arrested and prosecuted. “I wish to use this medium to appeal to citizens to be law abiding, to resist the lure of taking laws into their hands and report any breach of right to the police. “We assure our readiness to ensure full protection of lives of every resident and there will be no hiding place for criminal elements in the state.” Meanwhile, a source close to the deceased’s family revealed that Nwoha was killed by members of a suspected rival cult group. According to the source, the group was on a reprisal mission, following a fracas that took place at the compound of the deceased, where some people were reportedly injured. “The deceased allegedly had an altercation with some co-tenants at their residence at Amike Abba, which led to some persons getting injured. “In an apparent reprisal attack, the injured persons, alleged to be members of the Aye confraternity, trailed him to a drinking joint, where they shot him severally and fled,” the source said. Many residents of the area, especially youths, had fled their homes, following ongoing police investigation. Read the full article

As part of a national campaign to provide enough bet nets for every Nigerian to be protected from malaria every night, the united State Government through the President’s Malaria initiative (PMI) has donated about 1.75 million bed nets in Ebonyi state. This activity will benefit all 3.1 million residents of Ebonyi, providing at a minimum one net for every two people within each household. Sleeping under the nets put a vital barrier between people and malarial mosquitoes, most importantly from dusk to dawn, and is one of the best ways to prevent malaria. At a ceremony to mark the beginning of the programme, the USAID Deputy Mission Director, Katie Donohoe, urged the people to sleep under the net and encourage their children to do the same. “If we all work together to protect ourselves by sleeping under a bed net every night, we can control malaria for the good health of everyone,” she said. The PMI programme is jointly implemented by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The life-saving nets will go to every local government area in the state. In addition to the nets, valued at $4.9 million, PMI also provided an additional $1.1 million for logistics, including transportation and community mobilization – for a total contribution of $6 million, carried out in partnership with the Ebonyi government, which led the planning, coordination, and distribution effort. The bed net distribution is a critical component of the ongoing effort to end malaria in Nigeria, which killed an estimated 82,000 people in 2017 and is the leading killer of children in the country. Malaria is especially prevalent during the rainy season, when the mosquito population increases. “All these efforts are geared towards the reduction of the burden of malaria in the state,” said Ugbala Kenneth Igwe, Secretary to the Ebonyi government, as he declared the bed net campaign open. “With the distribution of these long-lasting nets, I assure you that the burden of malaria will continue to decline until we get to next to zero malaria case reporting in the state.” Since 2011, PMI has procured 57 million insecticide-treated nets, valued at $126 million as part of a $564 million overall contribution to malaria control in Nigeria. PMI also supports advocacy and mobilization to encourage members of the community to sleep under the bed nets every night, and trains health workers to test for malaria before treatment.
