EBONYI State Governor David Umahi has boasted that no mortal man has the power to upturn a divine commission come 2019 pointing at a great difference in both the spirit and leadership personality between Ekiti and the Ebonyi State.
Governor Umahi stated these while Speaking on the general condition of the country under the All progressives Congress,(APC ) and advised the opposition never to pre-judge the outcome of 2019 elections in the State based on the recent Ekiti State experience.
He also stressed that Nigeria more than ever has been tormented and bedevilled by so much suffering, insecurity, oppression, hatred, division, and segregation, by the APC government adding that mutual suspicion abounds, even among the leaders.
Governor David Umahi made this known when he tasked the members of the state Pilgrims to be fervent in praying for the nation while in the Holy Land, as the country presently, required those who would doggedly stand in the gap to avert the seemingly divine judgement passed against Nigeria during his valedictory Address and flag-off of Basic Travel Allowance (BTA) presentation to Ebonyi State Pilgrim designates in Abakaliki.
Umahi said: “This is very, very important. It is in the situation we find ourselves in Nigeria that Esther said I will go and if I perish, I perish.
“We are seeking for men and women that would stand in the gap for this nation.
“The nation is troubled. It is as if judgment has come upon our nation.
“That is why I feel excited that in a time like this, you are going to the Holy Land.
“It is very important that you say like Esther If I perish, I Perish; that in the presence of God that you get lost and begin to talk to God about this nation.
“There is judgment upon the nation.
“There is so much suffering, so much oppression, so much hatred, so much division, so much segregation and suspicion, even among leaders.
“So we must know that our nation is troubled and I feel very bad when people talk like gods.
“Some people said they will use Army, they will use Police, they will do what happened in Ekiti.
“ I want to let them know that the Spirit of Ekiti is different from Ebonyi; the grace in Ebonyi different from the grace in Ekiti
“A Child of God is on the Throne and I came by the finger of God. So our confidence is in the Lord.
“The Bible says who is it that speaks when the Lord has not spoken.”
He further urged the pilgrims to show great deal of integrity and moral values while they also “Pray for our Party primaries…pray for our election, pray for our finances…that the good Lord would continue to bind Ebonyi State as one united family.”
Addressing the Pilgrims earlier, the Chairman Ebonyi State Pilgrims Welfare Board, Reverend Father Abraham Nwali expressed optimism that they would come back with the much required spiritual transformation and rejuvenation.
He noted that pilgrimage to Israel reminds Christians that “we are sojourners in the world, adding that pilgrimage is a fulfilment of agelong Biblical prophesy and advised the pilgrims to be disciplined, careful, show contentment and avoid all acts of abscondment while in the Holy Land.
In a goodwill message delivered by the Federal Commissioner of the Nigeria Pilgrims Welfare Board, South-East zone, Reverend Emmanuel Ebomuche, he eulogized Governor Umahi for both his infrastructural innovations in the State and his goodwill in sponsoring the pilgrims, adding that Ebonyi was the first State at the moment to sponsor pilgrims to the Holy Land.
The Pilgrims were to combine the pilgrimage to the Holy land with an Agricultural tour of Israel as explained by the State Chairman of the Pilgrims Welfare Board.
I am not a football fan, as a matter of fact, but yesterday sounded like The Premier League. It was as if Arsenal whipped the floor with Barcelona and won the Premier League trophy. This is why we shouldn’t be in a hurry to analyse, comment or justify anything at the drop of a pin. Everybody wants to be the best analyst, commentator and everything, not just the best, the FIRST. That was how so many people ended up spreading news that Kwankwaso said he did not defect from APC, the problem is that the news was from last year, nobody even cared to check for the date.
In today’s politics, we have 4 group of people :
1. Those who love Buhari.
2. Those who hate Buhari because they feel he gets way to much love than deserved.
3. Those who hate Buhari.
4. Those who love Buhari because they feel hatred is targeted at him for no reason.
These four groups were the main players in yesterday’s political Premier League.
Naturally, when I heard that the DSS blocked the national assembly, my thought was that maybe there was an imminent threat, and they had no choice but move fast and unexpectedly. For that, I felt the whole political drama of screaming at the men manning the gate was unnecessary, they are not the policy makers, they are simply following orders. I felt they could have tried calling the director of the DSS, and if there is no response, they should direct their concerns to the office of the president to demand an explanation, but hey, we are Nigerians, if we don’t go bananas because someone looked at the spoon we are using to drink gari, call us bastards.
Before you say Dino, Buhari is already receiving all the blames and insults. Ra ta ta ta ta like a semi automatic machine gun. On the other hand, those supporting Buhari lost the patience of waiting, why not, they are also Nigerians. It’s analysis and counter analysis. The funniest part of it all is that Buhari is not even in the country, the vice president was manning the country.
By evening, Mr Vice president, a man of patience, intellect, wisdom and maturity got all the information he needed and fired the Director of DSS. I was hoping, well, since Buhari was the one at the receiving end, despite the fact that we all know he was not in town, he should now take credits for the rolling head. Na lie o! He started taking more fresh insults about being incompetent and knowing nothing about leadership, the same man who has no problem putting his vice in control, something I don’t think has ever happened in the history of Nigerian leadership. Story for another day.
Now, the hot talks on Buhari became that :
1. He directed the director of DSS to lock down the National Assembly, and when things didn’t go right, he fired the director.
2. He should not be given credit for what Osinbajo did
3. He gave Osinbajo the green light to fire DSS chief
The most important thing to note however is that nobody knows. We are not in Aso Rock, so we do not have first hand information about what exactly went down. But our love and hate has gotten us into this political zigzag.
At the end, we are all human beings. As a Buharist, with unapologetic support and loyalty to the man, I understand why he attracts so much love, and some who hate Buhari, hate him because we love him that much, yeah, that’s how twisted it is. But we just can’t help ourselves given the fact that for the first time in 16 years of Nigerian democracy, we have a leader that is not a thief and is doing all he can to prevent people from stealing Nigerian money. For the first time, we have a leader who is not abandoning past projects, but finishing them. So yeah, punch away.
But di wan wen pain me be say, no pasto or profet even warn us befo dis yawa gas fah! Infact, ayam in siviya pain!
