GOV. UMAHI ACCEPTANCE SPEECH:

OUR TOMORROW SHALL BE GREATER THAN OUR YESTERDAY

Umahi pledges to construct Olympic stadium, airport in second tenure

Gov. David Umahi has pledged to construct an Olympic stadium, airport and major infrastructure in Ebonyi during his second tenure as the state’s helmsman.

Umahi made the pledge on Sunday while reacting to his electoral victory which saw him garner 393, 043 votes to defeat his closest challenger, Sen. Sunny Ogbuoji of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who polled 81, 703 votes.

The governor, in a release signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Emmanuel Uzor, also promised to complete the 198km Abakaliki ring road which connects eight Local Government Areas (LGA) of the state.

“My administration constructed over 534 km roads on concrete with over 100 years-lifespan and is presently constructing a mega-shopping mall, international market, ecumenical centre, a new government house complex and making the capital city a model in the country.

I thank the people for their belief in me and express my unalloyed loyalty to them for re-electing me for a second tenure in office.

“I promise to aggressively pursue infrastructural, human development and industrialization of the state, the tripod on which my administration stands,” he said.

The governor, once again, reiterated his readiness to hand over power to Abakaliki bloc in 2023 after completing his second term.

“This is to continue the rotation of the gubernatorial seats to the three senatorial zones of the state in the spirit of equity and justice.

“The election was a reflection of the wishes of Ebonyi people who have been resolute and desirous of consolidating on the already achieved development of the state,” he said

He described the election as his highly credible and extolled the high level of professionalism on both the sides of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC and all security agencies involved in the election.

“I call on those that contested with me to accept defeat as the consensus of the people was reflected through their ballots across the 13 LGA of the state.

“I commend INEC for their professionalism and express readiness of my administration to seek justice for those whose lives were cut short in the course of the election.

“We will bring the perpetrators to book irrespective of party affiliation as I thank the Christian and Muslim communities, civil and public servants and the people for appreciating my works in the first term,” he said.

God gave this man to Ebonyi people to simply transform that part of the world.
Their previous leaders did little to nothing to help Ebonyi people as they were just busy siphoning the little money this State has turn by turn and creating no form of job opportunity for it citizens.
His own turn, he resorted to using Prayers and the fear of God to run the affairs of the State.
Now God has rewarded him and his people.
Without doubt, he's been the best Governor in Nigeria since he came to power.
A man that worship God in Spirit and in Truth can help give your life a meaning.

I’ve come to see this man as oka-ome, so i don’t doubt him!

In Umahi we believe.

A stadium is a white elephant project

Ebonyi does not need an airport. This is clearly a means to embezzle

If you know what a single investor can do, you will understand.

what happens to the stadiums after the tournament, sports is a business oriented program and the government is not meant to get into sports like I said that stadium is a white elephant project
