Governor David Umahi on Tuesday tendered an unreserved apology to the Correspondents of The Sun Newspaper, Mr. Chijioke Agwu, and Mr. Peter Okutu of Vanguard Newspapers, and called on them and their Media Organizations to partner his administration in the development of the state.

The two Journalists were last week Wednesday ‘banned for life’ by the Governor from entering Ebonyi Government House and all government facilities following publications the duo did which the governor considered offensive.

Umahi’s outburst has drawn wide condemnations. But in a live broadcast in Abakaliki on Tuesday, Governor Umahi described the incident as unfortunate,adding that he acted out of anger.

Umahi, however, charged Journalists to always cross check their facts before publication.

He said: ”I have directed that The SUN and The Vanguard reporters be invited to join us. The unfortunate incident with the press was not intentional .But I am asking everybody to disregard what has happened. Because, we are all partners in progress and let us work together.

“But, I will advice that you, please cross check your information before publication. There are some certain write-ups that people are not happy about. But I have said please let everybody down tools in love and work together. I specifically asked that the SUN and Vanguard reporters be invited because as a father, when you beat a child with one hand ,you bring the child back with another hand.”

“I believe strongly that if anybody wants to intentionally bring you down he can’t pull you down standing, he will certainly go down with you. And you may even rise above him. But the single way to be happy in life is to be happy with success. I want to invite the press for partnership and also ask them to also please help us build the state”.

Good for him

Finally Umahi has retraced his steps.

Glad he didn't let arrogance destroy his 2023 presidential ambition

Apology not accepted.

A resignation would have been perfect.

This is height of gross misconduct, abuse of power and violation of human and constitutional right.

Umahi needs to swallow his pride and resign. That`s what great leaders do when they truly believe and agree that they have made grave mistakes

The pressure was high for him to handle

Dave Umahi has quick temper. Aside that, he has all the qualities to be PDP's presidential candidate in 2023.

That's how they are online warriors
