UMAHI'S DESIRE FOR SECOND TENURE; DESPERATION TAKEN TOO FAR!

The continued romance of Ebonyi State Governor, Engr. Dave Umahi with the Northerners, particularly the Hausa Fulanis since inception of office in 2015, is not only a thing that has given most Ebonyians some serious concern, but it has also created serious fear and uneasiness in most Ebonyians, even as the romance is now taking a different dimension.
From sending trailer loads of Ebonyi rice to the North East, to his unalloyed promise of delivering Ebonyi to President Buhari in the coming 2019 general elections, with several other anti party activities exhibited by Umahi, one may begin to wonder what the governor wants to achieve.
However, some political analysts believe that the essence of Governor Umahi's romance with the Northerners and their cabals is to enable him secure his second term in office, as it is very obvious that he is not a member of the party that controls the centre; but indirectly, he is with them.
The recent appointment of some Hausa men in Governor Umahi's government is another thing that has created anxiety in the mind of concerned Ebonyians, particularly now that the Hausa Fulanis are looking for every possible means of penetrating all the nooks and corners of Nigeria to enable them achieve their unannouced agenda.
There are strong indications and belief that Ebonyi State is among the 16 states that their governors have agreed to have Cattle Colonies establshed in them, which the Federal Government has refused to mention (the affected states) for security reasons.
The appointment of a Technical Assistant (TA) and Liason Officers for Herdsmen and Cattle Rearing in Ebonyi State is so suspicious and indeed worrisome.
There is no doubt that the good people of Ebonyi would resist and attack any Cattle Colony found anywhere in the state (whether it is established secretly or otherwise).
We therefore use this platform to call on Governor Umahi to watch his steps!
When you Allow the Hausa Fulanis a little, they would ask for Allowance. They must surely ask for more; if not now, then later. It is in their character to do so, and history has proved that to us!
Governor Umahi should resist any urge or personal ambition that would push him to sacrifice the precious lives and future of the masses of Ebonyi on the altar of Politics!
The very recent killings and mass burials in Benue, Taraba and other states of the country should teach us some good lessons, if we are truly wise!
I felt very disturbed today, when I watched a video sent to my Whatsapp, where some Fulani Herdsmen were seen cutting the throat of their victims whom they captured alive, and after cutting their throats with a very sharp knife like chicken they would cut off their genitals.
Only them know what they want to use the genitals and other human parts they take away to do.
The same people that welcomed and accomodated the Hausa Fulanis/Herdsmen yesterday in their town and state are the same people that are being killed today by their visitors.
Any form of colony in Ebonyi, be it Cattle Colony or Fulani Colony is unacceptable; and we therefore say NO to it.
A Stitch In Time Saves Nine!
Together, We Can!!!
PLEASE, KEEP ON SHARING!
