A chieftain of the Labour Party, LP in Ebonyi State, Dr. Emmanuel Ezeh, has described the All Progressives Congress (APC), as an association of incompetent politicians, adding that the party is being sustained by former stalwarts of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who defected to the ruling party.
Reacting to the recent award of best performing minister to the immediate past governor of Ebonyi State and Minister of Works, Engr. David Umahi, by the Silverbird Television, Dr. Ezeh said, “the few performers in the current administration came from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), those in the rulling All Progressives Congress (APC), are incompetent people. People without character but have the capacity to build evil and nothing more.”
Ezeh who was Labour Party’s candidate for Abakaliki/Izzi Federal Constituency of Ebonyi State in the 2023 general elections, congratulated Senator Umahi for deserving the award, contending the minister has continued to maintain his relevance in the political space of Ebonyi State.
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, the few performers in this administration all came from the PDP. APC is totally a party of incompetent people without character, only with the capacity to build evil and nothing more.”
The Oxford-trained entrepreneur noted that as former Governor of Ebonyi State and current Minister of Works, Senator Umahi has proved to be an indispensable factor in the politics of the state, adding that his value can hardly go unnoticed come 2027 general elections.
“Today in Ebonyi politics, Umahi holds all the four access. Don’t mind 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 and hunger and their 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,” Dr. Ezeh maintained.
Continuing, he said,
“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. Let Wike take lessons from Dave Umahi before it is too late.”
The Labor Party stalwart further advised the Ebonyi State Governor, Chief Francis Nwifuru not to allow himself to remain focused, adding that he should allow himself to be dragged into any form of conflict with his predecessor.
According to him, “as for those looking for Umahi’s trouble in Ebonyi, it will be unfortunate if His Excellency Governor Nwifuru allows himself to be dragged into any conflict with his former boss. Rather than do that, let the governor focus on evidence based governance. Good governance is one driven by data, rather than emotion.”
