Works Minister, Sen. Umahi Lauds Inclusive Leadership Of Governor Nwifuru

• Urges South East to continue to support the government at the centre for more dividends of democracy

The Honourable Minister of Works, His Excellency Sen. Engr. Nweze David Umahi CON has assured the people  of South East that the year 2025  shall mark a turning  point in the efforts of the federal government in tackling security challenges facing  the Zone.

According to a statement signed by Hon. Barr. Orji Uchenna Orji, Special Adviser (Media) to the Honourable Minister of Works, he gave this assurance during the yuletide visit of  Izzi Nnodo Youth Forum to the Honourable Minister of Works at his country home, Uburu, Ohaozara Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, on 27th December 2024.

Recounting the unprecedented democracy dividends harvested by South East  under the Renewed Hope administration, he called  for more support and solidarity  to the administration of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR.

“We must always be grateful to God, and we must be grateful to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I believe strongly that the Igbo people, the South East people, are now on the right track. We have learnt to talk less. We have learnt to know that the centre belongs to all of us. We have learnt to support the government at the centre.”

The Honourable Minister hailed the leadership stewardship of the Governor of Ebonyi State, His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Bldr. Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru, GGCEHF, which he said had deepened the cause of peace and tranquility  in the State.

While commending the sense of generosity and gratitude of the youths of Izzi Nnodo, he urged all the youths of Ebonyi State to continue to champion the cause of peace and fairplay, equity and good conscience as that  was the virtue that inspired  the Divine Mandate’s victory in the  2023 General Elections.

He said that the 4+4 terms of the Governor of Ebonyi State is sacrosanct, and no agent of disunity can thwart it, adding “I will continue to preach equity, fairness, and justice in Ebonyi State. We will continue to encourage our dear Governor to be fair to be equitable.  God will continue  to be with  him.”

Earlier in his speech, the President-General  of Izzi Nnodo Youth Forum, Dr Andrew Chibueze Elom said that the aim of the visit was for the youths of the three Local Government Areas  that make up Izzi Nnodo where the current Governor of Ebonyi State hails from, to share the joy of the season with the  Honourable Minister  and to thank and appreciate him for  being  a divine  instrument for  making  an Izzi son the Governor of Ebonyi State.

He said the people of Izzi are people of gratitude and reciprocity and would forever  honour the Honourable Minister for his invaluable support that made the  feat possible.

“For the fire of favour, fire of blessings, fire of development, that you have ignited here, we say thank you, Your Excellency. We don’t have much to say or give you. Silver or Gold, we don’t have. But what we came here with is words of appreciation and heart of gratitude. We are so much happy, Your Excellency. We will forever be happy, Your Excellency,” Elom said.
