Buhari is the Boss aside my wife – Gov. David Umahi


“I want to state that aside my wife, President Muhammadu Buhari is my friend and my only boss,’’ Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi, has said.

He said that President Buhari should be respected by Nigerians because of his status as the president.

He said he is not ashamed to be President Buhari’s friend despite belonging to the opposition People Democratic Party (PDP).

“Buhari as the President, is the symbol of the country just as the governors are mini-presidents in their respective states.

“The fact is that as a human being, he might not be doing everything correctly, but the citizens owe him prayers and understanding to lead the country aright.

“I have said repeatedly that I don’t have to insult him to show that I am a PDP member and it is not my duty as a governor to insult the president.

“This does not mean that I do not identify with the ideals of the PDP, but it must be stated that those who say they are supporting Buhari in Ebonyi are only deceiving the people,” he said.

Umahi vowed to name a prime project, one of the best world’s glass tunnel, after his friend, President Muhammadu Buhari.

The governor said the one and half kilometres glass tunnel it is constructing after Buhari.

Umahi said on Friday night in Abakaliki during the quarterly media chat/ dinner as part of celebrations to mark the nation’s 58th anniversary and 22nd year of the state’s creation, noting that their relationship was beyond politics.

The governor noted that the opposition in the state was only interested in his job and not genuinely supporting the president, vowing not to allow them to take the position from him.

“The northern senatorial zone of the state produced a governor who served for eight years; the central zone did the same and the southern zone where I hail from should be allowed to complete its eight-year tenure.

“This is the tripod on which the state’s equity rests and even though a sitting governor wanted to truncate it, God brought a David in my person to ensure it was maintained and it will be maintained till the end,” he said.

Umahi urged Nigerians to realise that power comes from God and to check the brazen quest for political offices which has brought several problems to the country.

“Politicking has recklessly taken the centre stage in the nation’s affairs and if such is not checked for the next four years, it would be difficult for the country to handle its consequences.

“The common man in the country just needs food on his table as politics has become a means of profiteering even from those who have nothing to offer to the people,” he said.

The governor, who took time to enumerate his administration’s strides in the areas of infrastructure, agriculture, education, heath, human empowerment, among others, noted that his decision to modernise the state capital was irreversible.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that media practitioners from within and outside the state, took turns to ask several questions bordering on the state’ s existence and made general comments, at the occasion. (NAN)

There is a difference between licking it and pretending to lick it for the purpose of strategizing for favourable political prowess, but not to the detriment of your followers.

That's what the laws of power factually implied.

daviesblaze:
He ain't playing the role of the court jester right. remember, never commit to anyone

murphyibiam15:

see whether he licks it or not doesnt affect the ordinary Ebonyi citizen as they have nothing to gain from his critics of the president..

I'm not after his political prowess, personality or recognition in relation to his opponents or the people of Ebonyi state as a whole. It is solely none of my business.

I'm after your misrepresentation of the referenced Laws of Power.

chansmokers:
With statements like this coming from an opposition governor, it's better not to vote in 2019. Pdp governors are working for buhari.
