In terms of Infrastructure no governor in the history of Nigeria has done what Umiah did... Absolutely nobody, no body comes close

Revenue/Performance? Umiah is on a league of his own abeg

I can't judge him without data, since I don't live in Ebonyi and that is Mazi Simon's state , but as an Engineer I know he usually supervise construction work himself.. Iike I said I don't know much, but I remember he built an Airport without making too much noise other than to name it before our Oga in Daura ... But as an Engineer is current Ministerial appointment is in order, a square peg in a square hole ... But residents of Ebonyi are in the best position to grade him ...

He upgraded the capital and worked on their roads. That's as much as was done.

Ebonyi Roads and upgrade of Abakaliki. Then a medical college and 3 rice mills. Zero impact in education or economy. A white elephant airport project that is now a car park. Score that over 8 years.

Ebonyi has 3 cities all benefited from his infrastructural miracle sir

I repeat in terms of infrastructure no governor comes close to Umiah

Okay let start with the elephant project called the Airport, I initially heard no commercial airline was plying the route but was surprised to see Nigeria Russia celebrity flying directly there ... The Airport is there, people don't fly to where there is no activity but not withstanding Rome is not built in a day, at least you have that out of the state needs .

Zero impact on education, it won't be nice to assume and judge base on what you said because I don't remember Ebonyi name coming up when it comes to abysmal performance in exams as for the economy the government can only provide infrastructure, so if everyone is in Lagos you can't blame him much .

Rice Mill , I am sure you use to hear of Abakaliki rice from time immemorial, so I don't think it's out of place to have a Rice Mill.

Medical College well you build what is needed sometimes, you don't like the Airport it is understandable, when Sheraton in Abuja was built na so tey bush surround am , but that is not the same today.

Road Upgrade that was his area of strength.


Now this does not make me his spokesman, of course they are other more pressing areas that the state needs to upgrade upon but that is for the people of Ebonyi to decide .. despite all I said permit me to be neutral in grading him as his result sheet rest with Ebonyians not me.

The bolded concludes your response well.

The medical college, 3 rice mills, roads and infrastructural development in Abakaliki were the areas of performance. Other more urgent needs were unattended.

Forget about politics for once. I don't care whose ox is gored, I will always stand by the truth.

Dave Umahi was the best gov during his time.

he only gov brave enough to empower ebubeagu security outfit to counter the terrorist group ESN.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I travelled to Abakiliki and saw transformation, well paved and tiled road. Abakiliki come be like Obodo oyibo.
Chai! Dave you are a real man not all these achikota ekwe onu juru politics these days.

Dave is did well in infrastructure with little resources. My only grouse with him is his style of politics. Dave Umahi is a direct replica of Wike of Rivers State, albeit the quiet type. Wike is loud and aggressive, Dave is silent but still aggressive. They don't tolerate opposition, that makes him no different from the usual Nigerian politicians. Thy are all the same.

Very over rated dude. In his first tenure, no worker knew exactly what amount his or her salary was, anything you see you collect.
Based his governance on grooming foot soldiers for elections. Welfare zero. Did well on infrastructure especially at Abakaliki, with borrowed money
