Oyogist has learned that the Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi has alleged that the pres. Buhari led administration has done more projects in the south-east than the region had in 16 years of PDP.
The governor made this known during an interview with Channels TV yesterday.
He said;”The insecurity that they used against APC is a seed that was sown in 16 years of PDP administration and so it started germinating, bearing fruit at the time they were still in power. That is why we are suffering now and that is why Mr president is doing everything to solve it.
“I think that APC people are not marketing their government very well. Mr president has done more projects in the south-east than we had in 16 years of PDP.”he said.
The governor further dismissed claims that south east indigenes has never been included in the country’s security architecture.
He said in that regard;
‘People are still saying we are not represented in the security council meeting of this nation. I want to disagree with that.When the late Attahiru was the Chief of Army Staff COAS, our brother Akanonu was number 15 in ranking and Attahiru out of love and relationship, took him from Number 15 to make him second in command.
“Now, the man ought to have told our people that this is a favor done to him and so we are representing you, so that we can appreciate the late Chief of Army staff and appreciate Mr President because the actual owner of the military is actually the number two who is in charge of operations and logistics.
“So that didn’t happen and that is why I had to pay a visit to the family of late attahiru on behalf of the southeast to appreciate what he did and of course his military assistant is also my junior brother who is from the same local government with me. So there are misinformation. And when it was time to replace him, we said look, this man is from SouthEast, he is the second person who should occupy the position. That is misinformation because he is actually number 15.”he said.
