Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi state came to power out of manipulation. In his words, he want to chop the welfare of the people of Ebonyi state means nothing to him. Since governor David Umahi became the governor of Ebonyi state, the hardship people of the state are facing can not be compared to any other state in Nigeria despite the huge loans he has collected so far, internally generated revenues and the federal allocation which he gets on monthly basis. Now the most terrible aspect is that the people of Ebonyi state have no peace of mind because of governor David Umahi, he uses his thugs (Akubaraoha Youth Assembly) to terrorize them. Anyone who speaks on any issue in form of advice, if such topic is not in line with governor David Umahi’s terrible agenda, he sends his thugs (Akubaraoha Youth Assembly) to beat, intimidate or silence the person. This is exactly what governor David Umahi and his thugs did to Prince Ndubuisi Onwe Chibueze Agbo, the ex-commissioner of education in Ebonyi state. Prince Agbo in his capacity as an indigene of Ebonyi state opened schools (Mandate International College, Royal Comprehensive College and Demonstration Nursery and Primary School, all in Ezzangbo, Ebonyi state) to assist in educating the people of the state, knowing fully well the importance of education which lots of children across Ebonyi state have benefited so much from. Recently governor David Umahi sent his thugs (Akubaraoha Youth Assembly) to seal up the schools run by this great man (Mr Agbo) in the state, thereby putting the future of majority of Ebonyi state children at risk. Governor David Umahi’s reason for sealing the schools was that the man (Mr Agbo) and his schools are owing Ebonyi state government 1.9 million Naira on taxes, therefore he can not operate in the state but our (Viewers Corner News team) findings revealed the real reason Governor David Umahi sealed Mr Agbo’s schools.
The reason is that last year, the owner of the school (Mr Agbo) wrote a letter to governor David Umahi advising him on the way forward for Ebonyi state because the hardship people are facing is becoming unbearable which governor David Umahi refused to listen to. Then on September 13, 2017, the man (Mr Agbo) wrote an open letter to the president of Nigeria concerning the problems Ebonyi state people are facing under the leadership of governor David Umahi. Another point which majority of the people of Ebonyi state are raising is that governor David Umahi has collected so much loans without using them to better the lives of the people of Ebonyi state and now he has applied for another 150 million dollar loan from the Islamic development bank and the African development bank which almost everyone in Ebonyi state is against because the debt will be too much for the state to handle but governor David Umahi does not care. If the 150 million dollar loan is finally granted assuming and added to those loans governor David Umahi has already collected in the past, paying them back would be difficult which may in the long run bring Ebonyi state backward. All these angered governor David Umahi which led him to use his thugs (Akubaraoha Youth Assembly) to seal up Mr Agbo’s schools in Ebonyi state. As at the time of publishing this article, the schools are still locked up. Another lawyer (Barrister Michael Odoh) in Ebonyi state who concerned Ebonyians of All Progressives congress hired to represent them in the court to stop governor David Umahi from borrowing 150 million dollars from Islamic development bank and the African development bank was recently dealt with by governor David Umahi and his thugs. The lawyer’s office was also sealed for speaking the truth and at the same time the lawyer is being accused of owing Ebonyi state government two million Naira on taxes. All these are to silence the voice of reasoning and the truth in Ebonyi state so that the people would be scared to speak out. Governor David Umahi has threatened the lives of the people of Ebonyi state so badly based on our findings which is against the rules of democracy. However the only way to correct this problem is to vote governor David Umahi out of office come 2019, therefore Viewers Corner News and the advisory team is appealing to all eligible voters in Ebonyi state to come out and cast their votes when the time comes. Governor David Umahi must go, enough is enough. Few months ago, this same governor David Umahi used his thugs (Akubaraoha Youth Assembly) and kidnapped a journalist (Mr Charles Otu) and gave him the beaten of his life just because the journalist was speaking the truth. Honestly governor David Umahi and his government should not be seen in Ebonyi state government house after 2019 because they are bad news for the state and should leave.
