I Will Not Associate With Any Igbo Group That Insults Buhari – Umahi



Ebonyi State Governor David Umahi has said that he would not have anything to do with any Igbo group that castigate or insult President Muhammadu Buhari or any governor in the country.
Umahi made the statement on Friday when the members of the Igbo Leaders of Thought ( ILT)led by Professor Ben Nwabueze, paid him a courtesy call at the Government House in Abakaliki.
He said that he would closely monitor the proposed Abakaliki retreat being organized by another Igbo group called Nzuko Umunna to ensure that the organizers do not use it to malign or abuse political or religious leaders.
The governor said the group had written to him informing him of their plan to hold a retreat in the state.
He said he had to problem with the retreat provided they would not use the platform to castigate any governor or the President.
Umahi who said that the event would hold in three weeks times said he would stop the event if it turns out to be a platform for the castigation of President Buhari or any governor or government.
“Nzuko Umunna wrote to me and said they would be holding a retreat in Abakaliki on third weeks of this month. I told them that I had no problem with that. I will have problem with them of they use the retreat to castigate any governor, government or President. If that happens, I will collect their microphone from them and stop the program.

“I have said it severally that castigating our leaders will not do us any good. I have told my appointees that I will sack any of them who insult Mr President. ”

He commended the group for coming together to champion Igbo interest even as he enjoined them to shun partisan politics so as for the objectives of the group not to be defeated.
Earlier in his remarks, the Chairman of the group,Prof Nwabueze, told the governor that the group was formed by prominent Igbo leaders from different background for the purpose of championing the interests of the Igbo nation in the larger Nigeria polity.
Nwabueze who was represented by the Deputy Chairman of the group, Prof Chiweyite Ejike, said the group would continue to meet with relevant stakeholders of the zone for the overall interest and development of the zone.

I would have taken this serious if the man talking with his people are......

So I'm still confused on the outburst.

Umahi should be guided

Your people first before any other, we wouldn't mind you are a working governor...

Ask okorocha.

But Buhari insulted Gej . You are hausa-fulani ass licker n u ll never smell Igbo president. You are not for us. You are a saboteur . WE don't need u . You rather need us .

cheap political talk just to position self for 2023 presidency....North will rule till 2027!

UMAHI I PITY YOU....

Listen to Who is looking for northern acceptance...
Even okoroawusa did more than that but they bleeped him from the ass badly.
Asked rotime Ameachi the use and dump..(it was his threat against them that gave him that position of minister)
The Ruga region will keep hating the Igbo till Nigeria split.
Umahi listen,if you have ears...don't pls the north,thinking you will get presidency...kolework.
Ameachi,Akpabio,oshomole,orji,okocha,Ngige,are all secretly and patiently waiting to declare for the oval office,the reason why they are serving like slaveboy that lost his right in his own land...north don't reward loyalty nor compensate trust much.
Trust north at your own peril...it is detrimental thing to do...

But you will associate with groups and people that not only insult Igbos, but go one step further to murder them in cold blood!

This mans greed, unbridled ambition and eagerness to kiss Buharis' ass given half a chance, will be his undoing!

Na wa o!just because of 2023 presidential election you are now forming Buhari defender.What you didnt say before 2019 general elections.This nna CUNING CUNING NO GO WORK!!

Umahi u shouldn't have made this comment

Correct politician

This man is gonna become,
Persona Non Grata soon.

Castigating is totally different from insulting.. people should be free to castigate as the actions and inactions of the leader directly affects the livelihood of the people..

No one in his right senses would pick up a microphone in front of an audience and call the president an idiot.. but come to think of it,

El rufai did it and got Governorship
Lai mohammed did it and got Minister
Fashola did it and got minister
Nnamdi Kanu did it and got IPOB
Loretta onochie did it and got SA
Ogundamisi did it and got SA

And they are all leaders in different categories today either enabled by govt or supported by people.. with this enablement by govt or support from regions, the likes of Junaid mohammed is capitalizing on such and if not capped, hundreds would join and only explode as the elections get closer..

Okorocha licked Buhari as$ than him. This man is a dunce, Buhari has got no say in who will become the next president, even if he does, the north won’t hand power to the southeast, APC will choose their candidate from SW or North, while Pdp will either stick to Atiku or Tambuwal.

Just can't stop loving this man.

If Nnamdi KANU was from Ebonyi he would have been in jail by now. But Abia people keep supporting him

Hmmm... see https://www.nairaland.com/5482348/evidence-animals-need-us-reconciled#83294393

David Umahi should continue licking buhari's dirty arse...That is the sort of leaders the South East has.

Stupid n foolish governor. So ur people will be suffering n if the call buhari names for neglecting them n punishing them unjustly, you will therefore ignore n not help them as their governor.. Anyways, wen we divide, make sure you apply to become a citizen of katsina. Nonsense

Only children of hate, perdition and frustration talk ill about the President and the country.
But President Buhari is not even paying attention to what these losers say....not at all!
Ignoring losers pain them more.

We true igbos (not troublemakers) love our darling President for all that he is doing all over the nation and most especially in the East.
A better and more better Nigeria is all we want.

madenigga:
Just can't stop loving this man.

If Nnamdi KANU was from Ebonyi Ge would have been in jail by now. But Abia people keep supporting him

Hmmmmmm, this is true and deep!
We cannot stop loving our darling Daddy of the nation also.

Below is for the children of hate and perdition.....

The governor didn't say anything wrong. A governor or president should be non partisan, and if Ebonyi state governor is trying to do that........ we should not castigate him.

IGBOSON1:

Nwanne, free the man for now. He has forgotten igbos don't don't take nonsense.

Just watch it.

He will be dealt with like Rochas.. Shebi Rochas mouth don silence las Las?

Here we go, again!

Southsoul:
Who is looking for northern acceptance...
Than okoroawusa....but they bleeped him from the ass badly.
Asked rotime Ameachi

Anaechi minister for second term as a minister,..
Handles a project worth billions..
Okorocha as a senator... Let be guided they have nothing to loose...my bro abusing our leaders is not d solution rather we should preach love and unity

Why Umahi?Igbos go eat u raw today chai!

does it mean Umahi will decamp anytime soon? because the way his people keep saying his support for Buhari is 2023 preparation, as if Buhari will handover the presidential ticket under PDP or will APC consider a new member ahead of the old



I think Umahi should be made the head of overall Igbo leaders, the guy is only correcting the impression in the populace that Igbo hate Hausa/Fulani and this is what's expected of a leader. Umahi should fire on even though you can't impress average Hausa/Fulani, those people believe in political eye to eye hence their attack on southwest because they know when it comes to politics southwest don't give in


2023 presidency in APC is long gone to southwest and I hope southeast we fight for 2023 under PDP. why not two southerners for once if we are indeed one Nigeria?
