The governor of Ebonyi State, Engr. David Nweze Umahi has charged Ebonyians to move on with the New Ebonyi State which is far away from what it used to be.
9news Nigeria reports that the governor made this known while addressing the mammoth crowd that gathered at the event of a Thanksgiving service and Dedication of a twin, David and Gloria Egwuche.
He made it clear that Ebonyians are far better than several states across the state but the challenge is the act of feeling inferior.
Of a truth, Ebonyi of the old was a caricature of the New Ebonyi. Ebonyi before now was a dumping ground from other states . It was a place where the odd, the dirty and the ugly are found before the coming of the Divine Mandate Government which has in just few years, revived, redirected, reconstructed and totally transformed the state.
So far, Ebonyi State has made national and international headlines as the quickest transforming state across the country. The governor himself, Engr. David Nweze Umahi has severally been bestowed with the award of the best performing governor among the 36 states governors across the country for his quick touch and fast transformation of Ebonyi Sate.
The statement reads:
“When we came on board, we saw the magnitude of challenges facing us and we have not defeated all of them but we have certainly gone very far from where we used to be. For us to be where we are today, it is neither by power nor by might but by the spirit says the Lord.
“One of the things we have fought and God defeated is people looking down on us, looking down on our state, looking down on our people.
“Somebody came into Ebonyi State and he asked; why is it that everybody is happy and I said to him, you will still find few unhappy people but they are very small and we are working hard to make them happy.
“We must stay away from inferiority complex as we have moved beyond that age. Ebonyi is now a state everyone wishes to be.”
