Governor Umahi Accuses PDP Leaders Of Planning To Destabilize His Government


Less than two weeks after his defection from People’s Democratic Party, PDP to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State has accused leaders of his former party of planning to destabilise his government.

As reported by Igbere TV News, Umahi who is also chairman of the Southeast Governor’s Forum at the weekend threatened that it would be the last fight for the former secretary to the government of the federation, SGF, Senator Pius Anyim and former governor Senator Sam Egwu, if they try to destabilize his administration.


 
Umahi noted that he would fight them and other national assembly members if they should continue to distort the existing peace and order in the state.

Umahi made this known while briefing Journalists at the Exco chambers, old government house, Abakaliki, shortly after a security meeting that involved all the security chiefs in the state.

The governor however, accused the former SGF Anyim Pius Anyim and the former governor Sam Egwu of allegedly recruiting cultists and some members of IPOB to cause mayhem in the state.


 
He said: “I want the media to note that I reported an allegation that some Ebonyi people are engaging cultists and according to them, some IPOB members to start killings and crisis in Ebonyi state in the name of fighting Ebonyi state government and the governor.

“And their leader is Senator Anyim Pius Anyim and their members are Dr. Sam Egwu, Senator Obinna Ogba, Mr Ali Odefa and others.


“This is alleged information I got and I needed to share this information with the security agency. The reason is that every governor in the state has been fought by the same set of people and it is very interesting to know that the same senator Pius Anyim fought the former governor Egwu and many people were killed.

“I am not saying that this information is true or not but I needed to raise an alarm because lives will be lost, I pray to God that this shouldn’t be true. And I have asked the security agencies to reach out to them.


“Their party (PDP) will exist peacefully in the state and nobody is going to harass them. But it is important to put it on notice that this is what we heard. It may be true and it may not be true.

“It is something that we need to bring to the notice of the members of the public, so that, God forbid if the information is true and it started happening, let it be that I got the information and I shared it with security agencies.


 
“I have also directed security agencies to reach them and assure them that nobody will harass them. That nobody will stop their activities in the state and this is very important.

“Finally, I have also directed security agencies to ensure the implementation of policies on tinted glasses of vehicles in the state, the use of a siren and then the police escort.

“And same set of people use sirens, use police escorts and use tinted glasses and when they get to their various localities the police will be shooting on air. We do not want that.

“And I have asked the security agencies to insist on deposing them of such police that they use to harass our innocent citizens. And to stop those who are not supposed to use siren, tinted glasses and cover plates from doing that.

“It is only in Ebonyi state that such a thing is being abused. When I finish, I will go back to my business by God’s special Grace. If you caught me in a tinted glass vehicle, then you have to arrest me.

“Nobody is above the law. Nobody is asking them to join APC but they cannot set the state on crisis. We cannot allow them. They should be told that we will confront them openly, if they try to start killings in Ebonyi state, the governor is appealing to them to be peaceful and know that Ebonyi belongs to all of us.

“Nobody is the owner of the state, so let them not stay in Abuja or another place and behave like they are the owner of the state. If they try to fight the state, this will be their last fight, they will fight this one and they will not fight again” he stated.

A file photo of Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike. Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, on Thursday said President Muhammadu Buhari has an opportunity to address the demands of the people or put the country “on fire”. His comment comes two days after the federal government with leaders of the South-South region.   At the meeting, the South-South leaders demanded for the restructuring of Nigeria, in line with the principle of true federalism. “We must understand in this country that political leadership is not key,” Wike said on Thursday during his appearance on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily. “Having the political will to implement what the people want is very serious. “I don’t want to talk about the issue of distrust or no trust in government. People have raised such issues, that they don’t think that nothing will come out of all this dialogue. I don’t agree with that. I believe that if the president does not do, given the opportunities he has now, then, he will be pu
