Ebonyi State Governor, Dave Umahi, has reiterated that in the interest of peace, fair play and justice, the Ebonyi North zone must be allowed to produce the next governor of the state.<\/p>\n

Umahi, who went down memory lane to explain that the North had enjoyed the governorship position for eight years, the Central eight and the South which will soon conclude its turn, stated that power must return to the North zone in the aforesaid order.<\/p>\n

Umahi stated this during a Thanksgiving Service at the New Government House Chapel, Abakaliki, on Sunday.<\/p>\n

He further explained that Ebonyi people should play down on party politics, restating that the development recorded by his administration was not facilitated by the Federal Government.<\/p>\n

Umahi said, \u201cAnd let me tell you, don\u2019t get in tangled with party politics, worry not yourself about this, this!!! Stick to the tickets you are holding. This state was never developed by the centre, it was developed by us, it was developed by us. Don\u2019t worry about any party or this thing, stick to the ticket we have. That\u2019s where God wants us to be and it is from that platform that we advance the cause of this state.<\/p>\n

\u201cRemember, no man gave us any chance. They will never give us a chance, we have to impose ourselves on them and that\u2019s what we have been doing. If they said we should not be heard, they are the ones that have to hear us. Even if they share something down this side, they will take it from us but through the supernatural power of God, we have imposed ourselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have reluctantly come to recognize us and we have to take it to another level. The party we know is the ticket we are holding. You must know that no one developed this state for us; the political party, the centre did not. We are the ones through the power of God that developed this state.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, don\u2019t engage on party something. Always look forward to what you have and Ebonyi will be interested in what we have, very important. We are not against any party, we are not against anybody but a bird at hand worth ten in the bush.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
