Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi, has sternly cautioned youths in the state that have intentions of joining politics, should channel their strength and resources towards becoming successful first.

The governor passed this statement on Wednesday during the state EndSARS meeting hosted by the state government in Abakaliki.

Umahi said, “Confiscate your minds from politics and be successful first. Those who are running politics are wealthy.

He further said, “I hear far cry that government should provide jobs opportunities. Let us say the jobs are being provided, and you get paid a minimum wage of N30K every month in one year, that is N360, 000. What have you done with that?”

The governor said he is being pressured by his village people, noting that his predecessors had employed people from their villages while being at the helms of affairs in the state.

He told the intending youths that his decision not to follow the path of ex-governors of Ebonyi State was not to deprive the people who he said were the future leaders of the country.

The governor recalled that, while he was serving as the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, the executive members of the party were business people.

“You can only give what you have. Some of you run after the politicians, some of them never went to school. Some of them have nothing to offer, they brainwash you.

The governor also cautioned the youths in the state to remain committed in the pursuit of achieving their dreams.
