The Labour Party, LP, candidate for the Abakaliki/Izzi Federal Constituency in the 2023 general elections, Ezeh Emmanuel Ezeh, has attributed Nigeria’s socio-economic woes to the emergence of the All Progressives Congress, APC, since 2015.
Ezeh, in a press statement made available to journalists on Tuesday in Abakaliki, the Ebonyi State capital, described APC leaders as incompetent people without character, who could only build evil and nothing more in the country.
He was reacting to the recent award bestowed on the immediate past Governor of Ebonyi State, now the Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, by Silverbird as the best-performing minister in President Bola Tinubu’s cabinet.
Ezeh, an Oxford-trained entrepreneur, congratulated Umahi for his outstanding performance, which earned him the award, saying the minister’s political value can hardly go unnoticed in the 2027 polls, both in Ebonyi State and the country at large.
The LP chieftain expressed surprise that the few performers in the current administration came from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and maintained that the ruling APC had destroyed the good legacies built by the PDP-led government since taking over leadership in 2015.
His words: “Let me congratulate His Excellency, Engr. Senator Dave Nweze Umahi, on this award as the best-performing minister in Tinubu’s cabinet.
“Surprisingly, but worthy of note, the few performers in this administration all came from the PDP. APC is totally a party of incompetent people without character, with the capacity to build evil and nothing more. That is why they destroyed everything handed to them in 2015. Nigeria died in 2015—simple!
“Today, in Ebonyi politics, Umahi holds all the four access points. Don’t mind the sycophants milking the governor to deceive you. He is strategic, albeit in the negative. He saw the impotence of the older politicians and ran them out. He saw through their greed, hunger, and lack of character and took full advantage.
“In 2027, Umahi will still be a force to reckon with unless the current governor makes a sharp turn.
“Congratulations, Engr. Dave. May this award refocus you to achieve more.
“You see—you can’t compare my brother, Engr. Dave Umahi, to that loquacious Nyesom Wike. Dave operates from a position of strength and does not fight unprepared battles.
“If you placed Dave in Wike’s position, he would have pretentiously crawled or rolled, if possible, to the religious leaders, kneeled before the governor, and made peace while sharpening his knife for the midnight kill. Dave is smart, while Wike is abrasive!
“Let Wike take lessons from Dave Umahi before it is too late. As for those looking for Umahi’s trouble in Ebonyi, it will be unfortunate if Gov. Nwifuru allows himself to be dragged into any conflict with his former boss.”
He advised the Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru, to focus on evidence-based governance rather than emotion, stressing that good governance is driven by data.
