It was revealed to Viewers Corner News recently through our correspondent in Nigeria how governor David Umahi of Ebonyi state allegedly visited a building site, he saw a pregnant woman working at the site out of hardship which governor David Umahi of Ebonyi state may have created for not paying workers’ salaries in his state (Ebonyi state) and at that point, he (governor David Umahi) immediately offered to give the woman in question some cash gift to start up a business. He also offered to train the children of that woman up to the university level as alleged. Such offer sounds so nice but then it is a political game, therefore we (Viewers Corner News team) are pleading with the people of Ebonyi state and Nigeria in general not to fall for such cheap political gift just to score a political point for re-election.This is exactly the tactics most governors in Nigeria have started using to get the attention of Nigerian voters to their side. In Ebonyi state, since governor David Umahi became the governor, life has been very hard for the people. Salaries of workers are not paid in full, pensioners’ gratuities and allowances are also not paid despite the monthly allocation governor David Umahi collects on monthly basis from the federal government of Nigeria to solve these pressing issues. Again Ebonyi state government benefited from bail out fund and the Paris loan refund, still governor David Umahi and his men could not explain how the money was spent just like other state governors across Nigeria which is bad. Look at Ebonyi state Seniors (Pensioners) who worked throughout their lives trying to assist in their own way to make things right in the country (Nigeria), up till now their gratuities and pension allowances are not paid. If you look at Ebonyi state today, no new infrastructure is built there which brings us to the question of the day; what happened to all the money governor David Umahi received to put things right in Ebonyi state? Our answer to this question is corruption and lack of foresight to do what is right for the people of Ebonyi state. We (Viewers Corner News team) shall give full detail of this in our future article so that the Ebonyi state voters would not be deceived again because governor David Umahi’s alleged cash gift to a woman he met during a visit to a building site is just for political reasons and does not make him a good leader as people who did not know much about what is happening in Ebonyi state were made to believe. Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi state is a bad news and should not been taking seriously. We (Viewers Corner News team) see him as a one tenure governor because he failed completely to deliver as expected. The people of Ebonyi state should vote for a more credible person to lead the state, certainly governor David Umahi has already lost his second tenure based on our assessment of his governance. This is the beauty of democracy which stated that any leader who can not perform his or her duty properly for the people should not be voted for in future elections. However as the election in Nigeria is getting closer, we (Viewers Corner News team) hopefully shall play active role to campaign against any governor in Nigeria who is not up to date in paying workers’ salaries and pensioners’ allowances. Our Slogan is this: “If you as a governor can not pay workers’ salaries and pensioners’ allowances, you have no business being in the state house”.You can never be re-elected therefore we are appealing to all eligible voters in Nigeria to support our moves when the time comes. Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi state and other terrible governors from various states across Nigeria have played on the intelligence of the people in their various states by manipulating them for selfish gains. We say enough is enough. Now that election would be coming in some months time, all the governors in Nigeria would be using various fake methods like we mentioned concerning governor David Umahi of Ebonyi state to get voters to vote for them and after that, they will return to their usual system of starving the people of their states. Please join hands to move your various states forward and do not re-elect any governor who is not up to date in paying workers’ salaries and pensioners’ allowances. Secondly they should explain how the money they received so far to put things right in their states were spent before getting a listening ear from the voters.
