Umahi: Ebonyi Leaders Plotting Against Us

By Chuks Ekpeneru

Dave Umahi, has accused some prominent sons of Ebonyi State of planning to unleash violence in the state as a way of destabilizing his government.

His assertion followed the controversy that followed the refusal of all members of the National Assembly and political leaders of the state to go with him to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Speaking to press men on Friday, Umahi picked out former Senate President, Anyim Pius Anyim is leader of the group disturbing the existing peace in the state.

He said: “I want the media to note that I reported an allegation that some Ebonyi people are engaging cultists and according to them, some IPOB members to start killings and crisis in Ebonyi State in the name of fighting Ebonyi State government and the governor.

“And their leader is Senator Anyim Pius Anyim and their members are Dr. Sam Egwu, Senator Obinna Ogba, Mr Ali Odefa and others.

“This is alleged information I got and I needed to share this information with the security agency. The reason is that every governor in the state has been fought by the same set of people and it is very interesting to know that the same Senator Pius Anyim fought the former governor Egwu and many people were killed.

“I am not saying that this information is true or not but I needed to raise an alarm because lives will be lost, I pray to God that this shouldn’t be true. And I have asked the security agencies to reach out to them.

“Their party (PDP) will exist peacefully in the state and nobody is going to harass them. But it is important to put it on notice that this is what we heard. It may be true and it may not be true.

“It is something that we need to bring to the notice of the members of the public, so that, God forbid if the information is true and it started happening, let it be that I got the information and I shared it with security agencies.”
