Ebonyi ex-commissioner, Orji, lauds Umahi’s leadership style

The former Commissioner for Information Ebonyi State Barr. Uchenna Orji, has described the Minister for Works David Umahi, as a great intuitive sagacity and Steward leadership, an ingenious innovator and rare doyen of human capital transformation.

Orji disclosed this in a statement he signed and made available to Journalists on at the weekend to commemorate the minister.

Orji, the Special Adviser ( Media) to the Honourable Minister also disclosed that Umahi’s have added a significant value in the development milestones of the country in the offices he has served.

He said; “He is a great benefactor as many have received his magnetic and magnificent inspirations of love, compassion, mentorship, philanthropy, and empowerment. He is a gem of inestimable value, a wealth creator, and a great political stabilizer; he is a seasoned advocate and proclaimer of justice, equity, and good conscience; he is a nationalist, bridge builder and patriot.

“Among his landmark triumphs in his political sojourn is his vision to become Governor, which was perfected by God alone in the most historic and symbolic manner, and his record-breaking performance as Governor that thrilled human imaginations; his prophetic declaration for national mainstreaming through the progressive platform of All Progressives Congress (APC) at a time the journey seemed suicidal and his victorious flags and flying colours that outwitted all legal and extra-legal recourses that ambushed his generous political calculations. Thank God for the inherent rights of appeal that saw him through in both the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court. Thank God also for the mutual fidelity between him and his successor, who provided the unshaken foundational support that saw him through during the battles.

“In his new office as Honourable Minister of Works, the waves of road infrastructure transformation and policy innovations are creating greater hopes and returning the desired confidence of road users nationwide in line with the visionary aspirations of the Renewed Hope administration of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, the grand initiator of concrete technology in Nigeria. All these are virtues that deserve our celebration.

“Thursday, 25th July 2024, is a great day in the hearts of all who have benefitted in one way or the other from the large and kind heart of His Excellency, Sen. Engr. Nweze David Umahi, Commander of Order of the Niger, Fellow Nigerian Society of Engineers, Fellow Nigerian Association of Technologists in Engineering, and Great Grand Commander Ebonyi Hall of Fame, as he shall turn 61 years of impactful life. It is a day to especially remember our benefactor and his family in our prayers and to share our joy, extend our best regards, and convey our best wishes to him, glorifying God for his rewarding service to humanity and his stewardship which he anchors gloriously. Indeed, 25th July is always memorable in our hearts. Hearty cheers in advance to the Honourable Minister of Works.”
