[color=royalblue]Goodluck Umahi

While I agree with some of your reasons (the PDP offering next to nothing in the south east), I still think you got your timing wrong

But anyway, you have nothing to lose. In three years time, you'll be done with your tenure.

You really added clear improvements to Ebonyi state.

Farewell Sir[/color]

the man try die. In ordinary 5years ebonyi transformed from an unknown, obscure, primitive state to a progressive state. State with very minimal allocation and he hasn't even done SIX years YET see how far he's taken them in such short time.


Ebonyi state Legislature need to name an edifice after him.

My man

I love Umahi die

They just invite SS governors for meeting, the day arrive them come go Ebonyi to receive Umahi

Bolustical:
This move by Umahi to the APC pain IPOB die, they can't just admit it.

Of course it pains them and deflates their ego. Their only working governor .

KidDarkness:
I specifically said house of assembly members/ state lawmakers. I never said anything about senators

2/3 of them decamped with him. Only six are left in PDP. Time will tell how long they'll remain cus nobody likes to be left out of the "largesse" sharing.

So Umahi can't be impeached. Sorry.

KidDarkness:
In a sane society, the house of assembly members would impeach him the next day. Too bad, we ain't in a sane society

these are federal senators. Not state senators. Their power is over buhari, and not dave. The state lawmakers are with dave.

naijapips04:
Impeach the idiot.

nothing of such will happen

Lagos state government done hear am

As if he is not better than you guys

kingchuks500:
Now I see the reason Umahi keep calling IPOB a terrorist group and fulani saint. No wonder the state still remain backward.

ebonyi state is no longer backward. Visit now. Things have changed

seunmsg:
I commend Dave Umahi for his unusual courage. Hopefully, PDP will do the right thing by giving its presidential ticket to an Igbo candidate in the next election. The era of South east slaving for the party is over. Planning to give the party’s ticket to a northerner in 2023 out of desperation for victory is a complete shame. There should be a place for honor in politics. Congratulations to Dave Umahi for breaking out of the slavish party.

big congratulations

Ayed44:
The fact that the people voted for under party A does not mean they will still vote u if u decamp to party B. Akpabio and Uduaghan will tell u more.

It's good that Umahi has decamped to APC but it's very childish for anyone to think that Umahi has taken all sons and daughters of Ebonyi state along with him to APC.

the ones left can't win more than 4 STATE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY SEATS. NOT EVEN A LOCAL GOVERNMENT CHAIRMEN WILL THEY SMELL.

lawalosky:
Am in Ebonyi right now, the way ebonyi people hate this man now, i no sure this man go 4each 2023

shameless liar

Umahi is most welcome

I hope his breathe of fresh air will blow other APC governors to do well like he has done.

omowolewa:
The beauty of it is that, the people of the states still like PDP so APC should take am easy.

The two APC states were given through back doors of the court or defection.

aunty we no like PDP again. Na you go tell us wetting we like

2023 na protest votes u go see

Davash222:
B4 deceiving yourself.
You're now denying your heritage cos of mere 30K stipends. smh

dey there dey yarn opata.

I have left you as i need to be somewhere by 8. Let me not come online and find you typing shit about umahi me and you go quarrel.

Davash222:
Since I don't know anything about Ebonyi, na you wey from Ogbomoso wan tell me about Ebonyi

who says I'm from ogbomosho? Come my mail let me snap and send you my voters card

Na ohaukwu LGA, ebonyi state. You go see am

[quote author=Davash222 post=96161417][/quote]mr man edit am on time make i see am give u befitting reply. No edit am when i don go work

omenka:
When I created that thread about how shabbily PDP has been treating the East from 1999, and how deserving they are of the party's 2023 ticket, people like Racoon and Pachukwudi44 called me names, claiming the East doesn't deserve it (and these ones claim to be Igbo men. Wonder why they are averse to an idea such as that).

With the benefit of hindsight, I foresaw a time

the SE merits the ticket. They were at the forefront of PDP formation in 1998 with Ekwueme and Nwobodo. They once had 5 SE governors at a time. SE has won all presidential elections. 21years of utter loyalty and steadfastness to a party.

If loyalists are not rewarded in party games, then the aim of partisanship has been defeated. PDP does not mean well for the Igbo.

Davash222:
Umahi in APC can not win a polling unit in Ebonyi State.

you just open mouth and waaaaaaa rubbish go drop.

People wey dey cross ebonyi for express way pass go enugu or abia or calabar go feel them know anything about ebonyi.

tysontim:
Like joke like joke SE presidency is being taken serious. Kudos to umahi

umahi should be remembered for fighting for the right of the SE.

Eteka1:
Why the uproar? A governor from Edo recently defected from APC to PDP to achieve his ambition and people were clapping for him. Now Umahi is defecting from PDP to APC apparently also to achieve his ambition and same people are calling it "selfish interest", "he lacks political ideology" etc. I don't understand how we play politics in this country.

don't mind them. As if Obaseki didn't leave APC to PDP for same selfish interest of actualizing his governorship ambition.

RedPhoenix:
How people can just choose to destroy themselves, legacies and all they built over the years just makes me wonder. Umahi's doesn't even understand the " Ndigbo " spirit and code he claims to belong to by blood. This will end in tears and great sorrow for him. I don't see him escaping it.

false prophet, stop spitting.

SilverNorGold:
My brother, you are right... David Umahi made the list of my top 20 Nigerian personalities we should emulate.. .. (https://www.nairaland.com/6212464/president-buharis-speech-armed-forces#95435120).. He's a great man.. He has my support, if Osinbajo doesn't contest.. Igbos, naturally, are great administrators, so yes.. David Umahi will make a great President!

God bless Nigeria.

amen

We all should allow Dave rest.

He's a humble man and quiet worker and you all can see it.

Localemperor:
FG allocation has little or no impact on this analysis since the government of Ebonyi state is run on loan.


All those infrastructures were built from the loan he obtained in 2017 from the Islamic development bank. or were do you think all the money he uses is coming from??

you dey deceive yourself. Go and learn more how to be spendthrift/wise in spending and not be grabbing straws sounding foolish.

Localemperor:
You are definitely pushing your luck and hoping its true.

Umahi have done tremendously well but saying that he is the best performing Governor in Nigeria is false. Why the performance of Umahi was so glaring was due to the fact that Ebonyi has never had it this good before, in fact its would not be wrong to say that he is the best through out the state.

I think the Governor of Kano State has done exceptional well and could be placed above Umahi on the chart.

you are saying kano governor did better than Umahi. Do you know allocation of Ebonyi compared to kano? Ebonyi is second to lowest allocation in federation whereas kano is in top 10. Yet dave has about six fly overs, a new international market, mall, church complex, a new school of medicine, a new government house and a new virology center all built in 5years of very tight purse upon oil dwindling.

These are finished while cargo airport is under construction for freighting of ebonyi and abia axis of wares and agricultural produce.

Localemperor:
Success would always speak for you, no doubt Umahi is the best performing Governor in SE and he has decided to switch to APC which would make him an opposition. The dolt in Enugu will forever remain a charlatan in the affairs of things. Congratulations David Umah on your successful defection

congratulations to him and i wish him the best

Amitez:
He is on a wild goose chase. If a president is coming from SE, I can bet it is NOT AND CAN NEVER BE Umahi.
He is being advised to help the SW break PDP hold in SE and SW. Unufortunately those urging him on do not yet know that even come 2023, PDP will win both Imo and Ebonyi both governorship and presidency.

big fat lie! The highest PDP go smell in Ebonyi is a few, not exceeding 5 state house of assembly members and at most 1 House of Rep member.

Because PDP is mainly dominant in Ebonyi North and their party stalwarts like Nwangele and Senator Sam Egwu are joining Umahi.

You don't know anything about Ebonyi. Abuja politics has very strong influence in Ebonyi state. Opposition parties dont usually have money to match them.

CilicMarin:
It's obvious he wasn't efficient....WELCOME ENGINEER DAVE...

Igbo Presidency, We Stand!

yes oo

This is a testament to no position may be too little as it may eventually had prepared you for a higher job or turn from grace to grass.

Who ever told NCDC boss by late last year he would be a Billionaire this year and sustain relevance as well? He just dey manage em office car all these years boom! Office renovated with laptops, new car and allocations.
