Viewers Corner News team holds nothing personal against governor David Umahi and his government but our concern is on leadership of the state (Ebonyi State). We have written articles concerning how the state is being managed by governor David Umahi as he turned almost everything in Ebonyi state like that of a family business, destroying the state (Ebonyi State) with his wrong tax policies and not creating the means to pay for those taxes. This system of wrong planning has driven lots of businesses away from Ebonyi state, even those petty market women who are struggling to make a living with a capital of 500 Naira are being asked to pay 150 Naira as tax leaving them with only 350 Naira. How can they survive with such little amount of money? Things are hard generally in Nigeria but Ebonyi state seem exceptional because of governor David Umahi’s wrong policies. Most of what he puts across to the world through some media outfits which have sold their consciences for money rather than exposing the wrong aspects of governor David Umahi’s government, some are even endorsing him and his government because he has allegedly made them smiled to the bank. We (Viewers Corner News team) want to remind those media outfits which belong to this category to please desist from doing so. Pointing out governor David Umahi’s failure which is huge in Ebonyi state is the beginning of wisdom for who would take over from him come 2019 rather than praising him (Governor David Umahi) because he has allegedly given out huge sum of money to some corrupt media outfits. Again in Ebonyi state, majority of the people have started noticing what we have been writing about for quite sometime concerning governor David Umahi and his government which is a step forward in the right direction. Recently Mazi Alex Okemiri (a chieftain of Ohanaeze Idigbo, Ebonyi state chapter) stated that Ebonyi people can no longer sit back and watch Ebonyi state go down the drain. This prompted him and other great people of Ebonyi state to call on various groups in the state (Ebonyi State) to start shopping for a replacement come 2019 because governor David Umahi and his government have failed the people of Ebonyi state. Now if governor David Umahi has done his job nicely, there would be no need for a replacement come 2019. Ebonyi state has more great leaders to manage the state by using the resources and the federal allocation to create employment and at the same time develop the state (Ebonyi State) which governor David Umahi has failed to do. Even the recent local government election in Ebonyi state was a fraud based on our findings because governor David Umahi want to retain his position as the governor of Ebonyi state in 2019 which made him manipulated the local government election and install his own people so that he can have a safe landing during the election. Now we want to remind the people of Ebonyi state not to allow governor David Umahi to have his way because if he does, that would mean another four years of hardship for the people of Ebonyi state which majority in the state would not want. The only answer to that is for every eligible voter in Ebonyi state to go out and vote for a change when the time comes (2019), certainly not governor David Umahi. Enough is enough. This is a governor (David Umahi) who allegedly spends about 60 million Naira servicing traffic lights in the state (Ebonyi state) on monthly basis with state money while the people he is leading who voted for him so that the poverty level in the state (Ebonyi state) can at least be reduced if not completely eradicated are now getting additional burden (taxes) to carry. Beautifying Ebonyi state is good, no doubt about that but the money coming into the state in our (Viewers Corner News and the advisory team) assessment would be more than enough to do that and at the same time create jobs for the people of the state instead of pocketing the money with few of those corrupt individuals that sing praises for governor David Umahi and his government. Surely we (Viewers Corner News) shall continue to do our findings and bring it out to the people concerning the havoc those corrupt leaders you all voter for are creating in your various states since they have refused to do the right thing. The only best way is to vote them out so that others would come and try too. This is why democracy is the best form of government, the people with their votes are kingmakers and can remove any government that is not working for them like we have already seen in Ebonyi state. Governor David Umahi and his government should give way for a more competent leader to take over come 2019.
