Ebonyi State Governor Dave Umahi, on Thursday, May 19, criticised politicians for Nigeria’s escalating insecurity.

Umahi, who spoke on Channels Television’s Politics Today, named past resource management and politicians’ involvement, particularly in the South-East, as some of the issues that have contributed to the country’s current security challenges.

He claimed that some politicians are exacerbating insecurity for personal benefit.

Umahi said: “There are politicians who are profiting from the crisis. They believe that if the All Progressives Congress fails, it is to their advantage. They forget that there has to be a country before an election.

“Politicians empower thugs. You’ll see a politician’s official security protecting thugs. There is a very low level of patriotism and everything is politicized.”

Umahi promised to solve the problem using what he termed “a bottom-top approach” if elected the country’s president in 2023.

“I believe in a bottom-top approach. Ebonyi is one of the safest states in Nigeria because our vigilante collaborates with the police. Also, there is a need for information and engagements from region to region.”

Meanwhile, the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, says President Muhammadu Buhari will determine fate of those Ministers who shelved their political ambitions.

Lai Mohammed stated this when he fielded questions from State House correspondents after the weekly virtual meeting of the Federal Executive Council (FEC), on Wednesday, May 18.

I agree with the best governor south east ever produced and possibly the best governor in Nigeria right now.

Despite the insecurity in the SE, I've toured the 5 states and I can say when it comes to UGM/IPOB, Ebonyi is the safest.

Because while IPOB terrorists are using ESN to kill their brothers and coming to lie to us that ESN are only in the bushes doing nothing, Umahi instead placed Ebube-Agu (the only recognized and working security network in the entire South East) on every 1km of the road to kill every IPOB terrorist and ESN.

Let every other eastern governor who jointly formed the Ebube-Agu tell us what they have done with them since their establishment.

Estupido

Fact is that Ebonyi people aren't sympathetic to the ipob cause . It's more about the people not interested in the nonsense. It's just like during MASSOB, most people in ebonyi only heard it in the air because they had almost zero presence in Ebonyi. Also, there is lesser political tension in Ebonyi due to well rotated Governorship so no zone has any reason to destabilise the state

I swear

The way Ebubeagu mount security checks in every less than 1 km across all the roads in Abakaliki and major towns in Ebonyi, no be here.


From 7pm in evening them don mount the security checks, they go look you before you pass.

Even at day time sometimes when I go to pick my lil bro at school i see them patrolling in their vans and the security men sitting at the back of pick-ups while the patrol van moves.


Even the nnamdi Kanu sit at homes stopped working long ago in Ebonyi, the day he went to court yesterday there was no disturbance anywhere by IPOB and ESN.


They can only do that in Anambra and Imo.


Dave Umahi get their medicine, and na local medicine.

True factors. But Dave is doing his best to secure the state using ebubeagu.

So why is Anambra own different ?

Imo instability is understandable cause 3 factions are battling disenfranchisement; Okorocha clique, Ihedioha clique, all against Hope with federal forces plus Biafra mentality, so it’s easily a hotbed.


APGA has been ruling Anambra peacefully without bias towards any region so why is there so much instability there.

Damnn this is fuckin true...

Bandits, unknown gunmen, Fulani herdsmen and the IPOB terrorists are organised by the government either to generate money or to cause havoc and mayhem.....

I can bet my ass that this man isn't an APC member...

Because Soludo left what he had to do to fraternise with terrorists. He gave the dissidents the opportunity esp when sit at home was already a thing of the past even in anambra.

Sam Mbakwe Of Imo State was the best Governor in the South East ever

Everyone had very high expectations of Soludo but after he messed up on insecurity it is obvious Uzodinma of Imo has more integrity

The only decent Governor in the South East at the moment is Dave Umahi , Soludo has become a huge disappointment
