*****CLARIFICATION:
I support Regional restructuring, says Umahi

Ebonyi state governor, Engr. David Nweze Umahi, yesterday noted that he is strongly in support of any move that would promote national unity and peace, as he added that Ebonyi state would not exempt itself in the current agitations by eminent Nigerians for restructuring of the country into the regional zones.

Umahi, who is the chairman of the south east governors Forum stressed that the need for regional restructuring cannot be overemphasized to address some of the imbalances and marginalization being recorded in some zones of the country in a way that would not jeopardize national cohesion.

He said “we are not against regional restructuring”. When somebody talks about restructuring, we should know the type of restructuring he or she wants. We are completely in support of regional structuring. My interest is the peace and unity of Nigeria and its citizens. We have to live in peace, unity and oneness”.



The governor also advised that everybody should not make inflammatory statements that would lead to rancor or division and further called on all Nigerians to maintain peace and learn to live in unity with other segments of the Nigerian society. He noted that the country’s political space had been troubled by various hate speeches from various parts of the country and maintained that it was time to let go of all hate speeches and embrace peace as the only panacea for development.

Governor Umahi was misquoted today in a national newspaper article. This retraction & clarification by the source of the misquoted article is a welcome development. Thank you all for understanding. –

sarrki

APC masterminded the propaganda.

Thanks for the correction

Lol...he's been beaten to line. Some politicians!

Is this real? Yesterdays comments shamed your supporters and outing yourself as useless entity. Seriously alot of people question why the state was even made after hearing previous comments.This must be the misquote of the year.

Umahi, who is the chairman of the south east governors Forum stressed that the need for regional restructuring cannot be overemphasized to address some of the imbalances and marginalization being recorded in some zones of the country in a way that would not jeopardize national cohesion.

“When the issue of Biafra or restructuring is discussed, my heart jumps because Ebonyi State is not ripe for any. Ask yourself, what is it that we are producing? We totally depend on the federal government for allocation. Investors are not coming into the state and our IGR is nothing to write home about, because the idea of an investor is, supposing the allocation that comes from the centre stops, how do I get back my money”

Oga, shove whatever you want into your ass. Daheck? These peeps think they are gods of some sort just because of their lucky ride of 4years tenure as gov.

If Umahis tenure expires tomorrow, can he control a crowd of just 100 people? These so called Igbo leaders should go and sit down when the real Igbo leader Nnamdi Kanu is talking.

Biafra is what we want. BIAFRA OR DEATH (of course the death is to zoo animals).

Brainless governor who can't think out ways of making his state economically self sufficient.
