The Association of Ebonyi State Indigenes in the Diaspora (AESID) has taken swipes at the impressive remarks accorded the Engr. David Umahi-led government in Ebonyi state by President Muhammadu Buhari during his visit to the state, saying “she state still remains the poverty capital of the entire Southern Nigeria.”

The Ebonyi indigenes said the claim was true according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) and that the fact has not changed. Rather, it has only worsened.

President Buhari during a dinner organised for him by the Ebonyi state government at the new Exco chambers during his two-day visit had positively appraised the Umahi administration, noting among others; “the significant projects executed by Your Excellency in the last seven years. You have done your people proud. I am pleased by the economic development records of the state under your administration, the wonderful network of roads, critical infrastructure, and investment opportunity that you have created in the state. I have noted the progress in the economic performance index of the state, particularly the budget office rating and the SFTAS commendable records about your budgeting principles…”

But reacting to the comments through a statement released Saturday in Abuja by the President of the association, Ambassador Paschal Oluchukwu, faulted the claime that Umahi’s infrastructural strides have translated to improved economic indices and better living standards among the people of the state.

“On President Buhari’s obnoxious claims on improved economy for our dear State, AESID feels obligated to inform Mr. President, remind Umahi and the rest of the world that our Ebonyi still remains the poverty capital of the entire Southern Nigeria according to the National Bureau of Statistics, NBS and that fact has not changed. Rather, it has only worsened. This is more so because in his intentional wickedness, Umahi has only continued his use of ghosty ‘Umahi and Sons Ltd’ to award and execute most if not all fiscal and infrastructural projects except for perhaps a few that falls on his cronies desk.

“As a group which has been compelled to intervene in providing succour to some internally-displaced- persons due to communal conflicts, we are aware that the awful rating of Ebonyi as the poorest State in Southern Nigeria with about 80% Poverty index according to the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics is very real and the people cannot wait for the Umahi cup to pass them over so their over-taxed and burdened means of livelihoods could breathe some fresh air.

“As a body, desirous of seeing a genuinely prosperous and economically viable Ebonyi which has severally lamented about Governor Umahi’s locust years in governance which has delibrately created massive hunger and poverty as a coercive tool to whip the poor Ebonyians into his line of subjective submissions, AESID seriously condemns the concocted lies, infantile deceits and elitest mockery which the wasteful jamboree called Presidential visit has brought upon our poor state.

“To drive home our points, we recall that in December last year during the inauguration of the new Bishop of Abakaliki Catholic Diocese that the Governor, in his usual spur-of-the-moment candour officially handed over the so-called King David Medical University situated in his Uburu village and said to be officially registered in his name to the Church to manage it as a Mission’s school.

“How come the same institution which modalities have already advanced for full takeover by the church was again handed over to the Federal Government? Does Umahi think that Ebonyi people are that unthinking not to even deserve an answer and the following of due process?”

The group alleged secrecy in most of the contracts awards and executions by the Umahi’s administration.

“We may live and do businesses elsewhere but there’s no denying the fact that Umahi’s seven years reign has delibrately impoverished Ebonyi arguably more than any government in Nigeria’s history! We are therefore at a loss as to who fed Buhari with the lies and claims he dished out to discerning members of the Nigerian public and the rest of the world?

“Ironically and as diasporans knowledgeable about the goings on in Nigeria particularly as it concerns our nation’s economy, we are aware that Buhari’s understanding of simple economics and it’s indices vis-a-vis National growth and development is horribly shallow. A leader with such a credential cannot therefore in our wisdom be in the right stead to pass a right verdict on Ebonyi’s economic growth and development.

“He could have simply enjoyed the special Abakaliki rice offered him by his hosts amidst lavished praise-singing and returned back to Aso Rock. After all, our arguably profligate Governor has been donating and lavishing Ebonyi’s scarce resources on him and those around him whom he has been frolicking around, pretending to be ‘consulting’ for the 2023 Presidential race.

“We know that the Abakaliki rice specie is so sweet that one could eat same and forget about actual realities and this is why AESID urges discerning members of the Ebonyi, nay Nigerian public to ignore the praises heaped on Umahi and his government by his visitors. We know that having looted Ebonyi’s treasury to stupor, Umahi is desperately seeking for a cover from EFCC after his ruinous reign in Ebonyi, hence his desperation to handover the property and the entire state if it were possible to Buhari-led FG.”

The group, however, asked the anti-graft agency to investigate the ownership and the “numerous cosmetic projects executed by Umahi such as the Medical school, airport, among other conduit pipes for massive corruption.

“On the hand, we most sincerely commend the Catholic Church in Ebonyi State and particularly the Bishop of Abakaliki Catholic Diocese, Most Rev. Fr. Peter Chukwu Nworie for their roles in ensuring that Rev. Fr. Timothy Ngwuta was finally granted bail by the Court just as we commend the judiciary for the role it played. As his trial continues, we further urge them and the Church to be fair and firm in ensuring that justice is not only seen to be done but very well done!”

Okay we have heard, let them come back to Ebonyi and also make their own contribution, Gov Dave has changed the old story about Ebonyi state

You defend anything that has to do with APC whether it's good or bad, I don't know when you became Ebonyi indigene to know what's happening there. You are part of the problem of this country.

Here with go with fixated mindset. I have been supporting Gov Dave even before he crossed over to Apc.. I am always in support of progressive minds like Gov Dave, the current best governor in SE.

Meanwhile, If we are to go by your assertions, then I am supposed to be praising Gov Uzondinma as well but reverse is the case.

You people should stop having fixated mind about that, even if you are going to do, make una dey go through one's profile

the problem of ebonyi is lack of higher education. period...agriculture in advanced scale require proper education. everything done in modern world require higher training

I thought biaffla land was flowing with milk and sugar?

Umahi has done wonderfully well as a governor, but it might not have an immediate impact on the lives of the citizens of Ebony state

NwaNimo1 you’re such a fool

In a bid to ridicule Ebonyi by bringing PDP agents publication to ridicule Ebonyi an APC state, commenters are now lampooning South East which the Anambra you’re from is included with


Sense is far from you. No wonder all you do are gifs like a kid. Huge disappointment of an matured man.

To yab Ebonyi, you con bring shame to the entire SE

Leave Ebonyi alone and face your state if you don’t know anything like 1 Igboland.

If you have sense, you’ll listen.

Na only God knows where some of your people learn their own game of politics from

Na only God knows where some of your people learn their own game of politics from

Its some Anambra people that like causing all these things.


You’ll hardly see an Imo man, Abia or Enugu trying to ridicule or bring down Ebonyi politically. It’s always the Anambra.


I’m always out for them and ready to rub faeces on their faces and embarrass them in turn. But it’s still their same Anambra people that will call me and caution me out, out of Ofu Igbo love and they will apologize on the behalf of the other half of Anambra miscreants.


But that miscreants-half won’t still learn their lessons. When I begin again, enough damage will be done on both states before I’ll stop. Infact I’ll make sure I hit VERY HARD. Both states don’t lack “selling points”, they have them in abundance.


NwaNimo1 you’re warned for the VERY LAST TIME to steer beyond ridiculing Ebonyi state.

If you think Anambra state lacks selling point which I’ll fixate on, dare a mad man and collect.

Last time I checked abia state was the poverty capital and state with the dirtiest air quality in Africa. South easterners should ask themselves what benefit they've gotten from PDP on a state level after years of loyalty.

nah today? everybody know Alaigbo is the poverty capital of south.

Gov. Dave Umahi have really tried in infrastructures in ebonyi state no one in his right senses can deny him of that politicians will always find a way to make money there's absolutely nothing anyone can do about that even these people that are accusing him of corruption will do worse if they are given the opportunity. Infrastructures are the first thing to put in place before investments can be attracted to any region that wants economic development. But I don't think umahi did the right thing by handing over that medical university to the federal govt to manage he could have left it for the Catholic Church the nigerian govt have never been known to be a good manager of any institution or company.
