Former Governor of Ebonyi State and current Minister of Works, David Umahi, has accused certain political jobbers in the state of attempting to create a rift between him and Governor Francis Nwifuru.
Speaking during the flag-off of the Ebonyi section of the Calabar to Abuja Super Highway on Wednesday at Amauro Primary School in Afikpo Local Government Area, Umahi alleged that some individuals were fueling division for selfish gains.
The Minister said such persons thrive only in chaotic political environments and are bent on stirring conflict to remain relevant and benefit from government activities.
While dismissing speculations surrounding his involvement in the upcoming APC State Conference, Umahi explained that he had no interest in the event, stating that Governor Nwifuru is fully in charge as the leader of the party in Ebonyi State.
Umahi said: “Some hungry persons have been trying to cause crisis in this state. But I am not available. I have been badly used in the past, but not anymore. I am not available again.
He used the opportunity to also debunk reports that Governor Francis Nwifuru had signed an agreement with the All Progressive Congress (APC) to do just one term in office.
Umahi described the claim as false saying such insinuation only exist in the imagination of the purveyors.
The Minister commended the Governor for uniting the state, and urged him to ignore his critics while focusing on his developmental strides.
