Ex-gov Umahi still running Ebonyi affairs, says group
“Earlier before the handover ceremony, we had learnt that the former Governor Umahi had literally summoned Nwifuru before his outgoing Exco, requesting that he announce his domestic aides from his Uburu hometown as the next Secretary to the Ebonyi State Government – a move that was allegedly turned down by Nwifuru.
Continuing, the Ebonyi indigenes challenged Nwifuru to either fully take charge by hitting the ground running like his counterparts in Enugu and Abia, or resign from office for a competent hand to run state affairs. “We urge the Inspector General of Police, the Director General of DSS, and the Chief of Army Staff to withdraw their officers and men from Umahi in order not to create confusion and security breaches that may lead to an avoidable constitutional crisis for the state.
