The rainbow airport built in Ebonyi State, Nigeria, by ex-governor David Umahi was the biggest waste of his administration.

Ex-governor David Umahi, while serving as the governor of Ebonyi State, was a very corrupt man who always engaged in capital projects because he knew that so much money from such projects would go into his pocket. We followed former governor David Umahi for so many years, and we know exactly how he does his things. A day shall come when those who looted the treasury of their various states shall come to explain to Nigerians how they spent trillions of naira given to them to put their states in better condition, but instead, the money went into their private pockets, which is bad. When ex-governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State was about to start the project of building the airport, some people in Ebonyi State advised him not to go into such a project and instead let those who wanted to travel by air use the Enugu airport, which is very close to Ebonyi State, but he refused because he knew what he was targeting. Barely three years after the commissioning of the airport, the Ebonyi state house of assembly is budgeting huge sums of money to carry out some repair works at the airport, where no single plane has landed as alleged since it was built. If ex-governor David Umahi had listened to those who advised him to put the money into agriculture or other viable areas that would bring economic growth to Ebonyi State, by now things would have been great. But former governor David Umahi refused to listen. He is a very corrupt man who should be put on trial, perhaps when an honest leader becomes the governor of Ebonyi State.
