Gov. David Umahi of Ebonyi has debunked the insinuation that South East Governors influence results to help President Muhammadu Buhari achieve 25 per cent of votes in states in the zone.

Umahi made the
declaration on Monday in Abakaliki while addressing newsmen, noting that
the insinuation was unfounded and blamed such on fake news purveyors in
the social media.

“Why do we need to negotiate for the sex of a
child when the child has been given birth to? “The fact is that the
president remains the boss of all governors and any reasonable governor
must respect the president, party differences apart.

“You gain
nothing by castigating him and such castigation does not stop him from
being the president. “You should rather make him your friend and see how
you can get something for your people. “The bible tells us that when
the ways of a man is pleasing unto God, it keeps his enemies to be at
peace with him,” he said.

The governor noted that those who
lived for themselves end up heating the system as they collected their
salaries at the end of the month, fed freely among others. “I am in a
hurry to change the story, narratives of Ebonyi people so whatever
vehicle of peace that I need to join to achieve this, I will join.

“Our
people are good in social media but will never go to get their voter
cards and will be announcing results,” he said. He enjoined journalists
to vote in the elections to enshrine good governance despite their
election monitoring schedules. “I expect 90 per cent success in the
elections of March 9 and I want you to ask me question on this, that
day. “All the prophecies made on this election failed and you
(journalists) were the ones propagating these prophecies. “People will
just wake up and declare: thus says the lord and this is unfortunate,”
he said.

Umahi commended INEC for ensuring a hitch free election
but urged it to ensure the efficiency of the card reader which recorded
several hitches on Saturday. (NAN)
