Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State is a very corrupt leader. His main aim in building an airport in his state, which is not needed at the moment, is for selfish gains. It may sound funny, but that is the truth. Governor David Umahi knew that setting up such a huge venture was going to put more money in his pocket. A situation where contract figures are going to be manipulated, and that is why he did it. There is nothing wrong with building an airport in a state, but before such a huge venture is carried out, proper analysis should be done, which Governor David Umahi did not do based on our findings. Ebonyi State is a small state, very close to Enugu, which has a functional airport. If need be, those trying to go by air to Ebonyi State can use the Enugu airport. Instead, Governor David Umahi chose to build such an airport and claimed he spent billions of dollars on it. If you look at Ebonyi State today, the number of out-of-school children in the state is huge, so if Governor David Umahi is honest with himself, he should have invested more in education and also built industries that would create jobs for the people of Ebonyi State. Again, that money he spent to build an airport in Ebonyi State, which may not even generate income for the state, is more than enough to create jobs and also invest in education so that those out-of-school children in the state can return to school. The past leaders of Ebonyi State were on the right track, especially in education, but when Governor David Umahi came to office as governor of the state, he changed the educational policy of his predecessors, which has brought the educational system of Ebonyi State backwards. However, we are hoping that whoever takes over from Governor David Umahi when his tenure of office ends in a few weeks will make education one of his priorities.
