Governor Umahi does not want his aides and political appointees
to criticise President Muhammadu Buhari and other governors.
Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State has issued a warning to his
aides and political appointees in the state to refrain from
criticizing and insulting President Muhammadu Buhari.
Umahi, who was elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) said anyone who insults the president should be ready
to leave his administration.
The governor also warned that any political appointee who
insults and downplays the achievements of other governors would be
sacked.
He issued the warning in a statement signed by his Special
Assistant on New Media, Mr. Francis Nwaze on Thursday, September
26, 2019.
In the statement, the governor was quoted to have said that
anybody who wishes to “throw unnecessary stone against any of the
above mentioned leaders should be ready to leave the
administration.
According to him, “Doing such to any government or any governor
in this country has no value to add to his administration.”
The statement reads, “The Governor has advised that anyone who
wishes to throw unnecessary stone against any of the above
mentioned leaders, should, in his or her own best interest, get
ready to leave his government as such will attract immediate
sacking.
“Any posting, henceforth, against the President, any governor or
government from any of his appointees will attract immediate
termination of appointment by him.
“If you want to castigate the President, his government or any
governor, you must leave Governor Umahi’s government first.
“How does such castigation help the governor’s government?”
Umahi said the statement is his final warning to his aides and
anyone who has anything to do with his administration.
