Immediate past Ebonyi Governor, Sen. David Umahi, says he is happy that his successor, Gov. Francis Nwifuru, still honours him.

Umahi said this while speaking with newsmen after being conferred with an honorary doctorate degree by the Ebonyi State University on Saturday in Abakaliki.

Umahi, Minister of Works, said it was not common to hand over to a successor and still be continually honoured by him.

“That is the handwork of God and I am grateful to him and the Governor. Governors and their predecessors are fighting in many states ,but in Ebonyi , we are always celebrating. This is the mercy of God and the wisdom bestowed on the Governor,” he said.

The minister commended Nwifuru for sowing the seed of peace in the state and assured that such would be sustained.

“You can see that the state is on steady rise and what I could not finish as David he is doing as Solomon. He is my son in whom I am well pleased,” he said.

Umahi thanked the university for honouring him and others, and pledged to continue contributing to its development.

“I commend the Vice -Chancellor and management for the amazing feats recorded by the institution ; we all are proud to have a university with such records. The job is easy when you are not the one doing it, and I thank the state governor for his great works in the university.

“I will consult with my fellow awardees and we would definitely offer huge to the university,” he said.

No Igbo man can allow you play Godfather on him Umahi, if you try you will fail like others. This governor Nwifuru can wrestle you down, and seize a lot of your loot. Ask Gburugburu how far.

Just mind your territory in Abuja.

Nothing bad in being a godfather, just that most Nigeria godfathers take the word literally and keep abusing it. A case study is Wike vs Fubara.
How can a godfather appoint almost all commissioners and personal assistants of a sitting governor, if not madness and greed?

Lol, no godfather, no politics; it is like that everywhere in the world; very few politicians like Trump got into power without godfathers, and they pay dearly for it. Politics is not for babies.
We only abuse it in Nigeria.

Expalin to us why godfather has not built seaports and airport in Oshun and ekiti states, why are Ekiti people escaping to Lagos and Enugu states? You only talk about Lagos built with our oil money when it was our federal capital as if its your achievement. Just live Kwali people claiming the successes in Abuja as their efforts and not giving praise to Niger Delta oil money.

Perhaps Francis Nwifuru knows the intricacies of your corruption especially with the white elephant project of the Ebonyi Airport scam. However, never relax yet. The time bomb is still ticking. Francis is gonna act when it is time.

After gulping sachet shekpe , your brain becomes empty

Lagos Economy alone is more than all west African countries.. yet the state is littered with slumps and bad infrastructure ,

A former capital of the country under the military, became a shadow of itself since 1999
All because of Godfatherism

Seyi will be the governor by 2027
And shishi you no go see as usual

just displaying your tribalism and bigotry on social media

Is it Lagos the glorified slum?

You see how Abia was before Otti took over ?

When a real leader not connected to the umbilical cord of Tinubu becomes governor, you will be shocked at what Lagos can be
