The Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, has pledged to stand by his successor, Governor Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi State, ensuring he completes his full two terms in office.
Umahi made the vow on Saturday in his hometown of Uburu, Ohaoazara Local Government Area of Ebonyi, when members of Nwifuru’s clan, the Izzi National Youths Forum, paid him a Christmas homage.
Describing the visit as “surprising,” the former governor emphasized that Nwifuru would serve his full eight years in office, just as he and other former governors of the state did.
“God forbid that the Izzi people stand against me tomorrow, but my covenant with God and Nwifuru is to ensure he completes uninterrupted eight years in office,” Umahi declared.
“Nothing will stop this. I fought principalities and powers alone and won to make him governor. Do you think I cannot do it now, with someone by my side?” he added.
Reaffirming his belief in Nwifuru’s leadership, Umahi reiterated that the Izzi clan represented the best option for governance in the state and that he had no regrets over the decision.
