Civil Servants are the engine room of every Government. Any Government that neglects its workers is not only wicked but heartless. You cannot built a Secetarait with billions of Naira while your workers are hungry. When I was the Deputy Governor, I suggested to my boss, chief Martin Elechi to increase workers salaries but he vehemently refused. I appeal to you to vote for me for I will increase your salary by 100%.

Gov. Umahi in Jan. 2015

Ebonyi Civil servants are very lazy, No Jupiter on Earth will make me increase workers salary. The cells in their brains are dead that is why they keep asking for increment instead of accessing loan to do business. We have discovered that civil servants have been over paid by 10% since 2011. We shall be working on ways to effect the deductions. The secret of failure is trying to please everybody.
