Onye ara, face your front.

christistruth01:
Senate President post has been zoned to the South South and it is between Oshiomhole and Akpabio

yinkus6750:
The NASS has its own internal rules.
A first timer cannot become Senate President
While nobody is disputing his a performing governor and has a lot to offer. He should wait for his time.
Akpabio is a better candidate for the position

Meanwhile The Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, Ebonyi State Council has appealled to the President-elect, Bola Tinubu to consider supporting Engineer David Nweze Umahi to emerge President of the 10th Senate.

The Union made the appeal in a letter addressed to the President-elect and APC National Chairman, Alhaji Abdullahi Adamu at the end of their State Executive Council meeting in Abakaliki, Sunday.


In the letter endorsed by Chairman of the Council, Comrade Tony Nwizi and three others, the Union argued that with the massive infrastructural development of Ebonyi State under Engineer Umahi, he would lay the background for more robust reengineering of Nigeria as President of the next Senate.

The Union also emphasized that the choice of Umahi would go a long way to mitigate the reservations of Christians over the resultant Muslim-Muslim Presidency.

The letter read in part:”We have worked with His Excellency, Engineer Chief David Nweze Umahi for the past eight years and can eminently attest to the the kind of person he is.


His election to the Senate, Federal Republic of Nigeria to represent the good people of Ebonyi South Senatorial Zone is a blessing to the Country.

“He is humane, disciplined, celebral, accountable and a champion of integrity in governance.


His penchant for uncommon development and transformation are legendary.

“He will do the same for the Country with his strength of character, competence and commitment.”

An Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has thrown its weight behind Ebonyi State Governor, Dave Umahi to emerge the President of the 10th Senate.

Umahi emerged Senator-elect for Ebonyi South Senatorial District on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the recent National Assembly elections.

Also, the South-East has been tipped to produce the Senate President.

In a statement by the secretary general of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, the group premised its support for Umahi on his proven democratic temperament “without penchant for sectional politics.”

The statement further stressed that beyond settling for the South-East for the position of the Senate President is the need to pick a leader acceptable to all zones of the country and a man without ethnic or religious bias in his bones.

“Umahi fits in this! When some politicians here were pursuing selfish interests, Umahi who is currently the Senator- elect for Ebonyi South Senatorial Zone took his people into the mainstream of Nigerian politics, just like he saw tomorrow. He has made friends across the divide and has demonstrated tolerance for all sections and strata. He is most fitted for the cap.


“For the interest of unity, gains of Umahi’s proven commitment to one Nigeria, infrastructure and human development, Igbo interest and need to galvanize support for our long sought chance to have one of us stride to presidency in the near future; we seek the support of all to enthrone Umahi as the next Senate President,” the statement read in part.

In a related development, the APC State Working Committee in Ebonyi State has described Umahi as a perfect fit for the Office of the Senate President of the 10th National Assembly billed for inauguration in June.

The party further described the governor as a man capable of championing a robust legislative relationship with the President-elect, Bola Tinubu who is set to assume office on May 29 this year.

The working committee in an open letter addressed to the President-elect, titled, “The Quest for a New President of the Nigerian Senate,” jointly signed by the duo of Stanley Emegha and Charles Ofoke, Chairman and Secretary of Ebonyi State Chapter of APC respectively, hinged its support for the governor on his capacity and competence to lead the red chamber effectively if given the opportunity.

The letter read in part, “The incoming Senator Umahi is a highly detribalized Nigerian of Ebonyi State extraction. He has proven this and has continued to prove it in his relationships with other states, tribes, ethnic, regional and religious groupings across the country. The records are there.

“Incoming Senator Umahi is a highly patriotic Nigerian who believes without reservations in a united country of equal opportunities for all. It is for this reason that he ranks as the only South East Governor to openly and courageously condemn secessionists agitations in the South East and reaffirm the commitment of the South East to a united Nigeria and prosperous Nigeria where every tribe and religion are mutually accommodated.

“As Chairman of South East Governors’ Forum, he is perceived in the entire Igbo nation as a unifier even beyond the shores of the South East geo-political zone and as one who tenaciously holds as sacrosanct, the slogan of one indivisible and indissoluble Nigeria.

“Incoming Senator Umahi proves himself everywhere as a peacemaker and a life-wire. As one who brokers peace among individuals and groups, he as President of the Senate will help the incoming president to broker peace among aggrieved persons in the country and bring them to support the new administration and drive Federal Government policies to actualization without bottlenecks.

With incoming Senator Umahi as the new President of the Nigerian Senate; our incoming president, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu can be sure of quick passage of bills in the red chambers and accelerated Senate ratifications of requests of the presidency for smooth and effective administration of the country unlike the past when bills and presidential requests suffered bureaucratic stagnation and delays in parliament which adversely affected the discharge of governmental duties to the people.

“It is on record that Governor Umahi who is now an incoming Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is the best Governor in Nigeria in terms of performance indices. There are also several awards that attest to this, the most recent coming from Silverbird Nigeria. A governor with such unprecedented performance pedigree is most suited as the next President of the Nigerian Senate and Governor Umahi is the most qualified.

“Your Excellency, these are just few of the many credentials that make Governor Umahi most suitable for the position of next President of the Nigerian Senate.

“We therefore implore Your Excellency, our indefatigable president-elect to kindly consider our passionate appeal most favourably, particularly as Governor Umahi remains the only incoming Senator that will ensure massive support of the National Assembly for the policies of the Federal Government and their implementations under his watch.”

jaxxy:
I thought umahi was the best governor?

jmoore:
Umahi performed better than useless Ikpeazu.. But he thought asslicking Buhari will make him give him APC presidential ticket.

Dude, should work on his self-esteem. Say no to asslicking.

chatinent:
I think Dave did well for his people.

Faber:
Gov Dave Umahi need money badly to finish up the Ebonyi airport, that's why he named the Airport after Mohammed Buhari

Dude needs money badly, he wants to hand over a functioning airport to the next government. Dude is a common achiever...

Dave Umahi, you are a rare gift to Ebonyi state and Ndi Igbo

Kobicove:
Instead of you to concentrate on your shitty blogging career you want to start a fight you will not loose.

If I decide to create time to treat your fvck up I guarantee you will spend all the money you have made so far this year to get yourself out of the mess you will find yourself in!

BigDawsNet:
Things work out differently for people abroad...

Let me say... maybe people who make so much money in just 2 years abroad are destined to shine overseas... it's not like other won't make it... but the grace will be different...

So grace matter
Then we have people running jobs that are not legit.. it may work for them presently.. but the day dey got arrested... they lost everything...

My advice... just ignore and focus on your own success story..

Try and learn Tech pls... easiest way to make it large in overseas

Silentmoni:

Playmaaker14:
Umahi and his love for many colors...

The project now looks like a recreational center for kids.

I trust the next governor to rename the airport to something better and more acceptable internationally.

BluntCrazeMan:
Ok ooo.



NEXT GOVERNOR IS DEFINITELY ABANDONING THIS MIGHTY PROJECT..


SORRY UMAHI..

wink2015:
WHY NAME IT AFTER BUHARI?

Are there no worthy sons and daughters of Ebonyi state that such project can be named after?

Why name a projects after an ex- military dictator and tyrant?
