If there is any state governor that knows the power of federal might and courts it that governor must be the Ebonyi State’s Chief Executive, Mr. David Nweze Umahi. As a politician who began his career as acting state chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Umahi knows the rudiments of doublespeak and is an expert at killing two birds with one pebble. Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, revived the Jekyll and Hyde political disposition of Umahi, when he called him Buhari’s man to the discomfiture of the Ebonyi governor. Next in line was the Ebonyi State Government. State governors serving their second term have always proved sources of friction, particularly as they struggle to carve out a rosy future for themselves after their stint in office.
