Gov Umahi vows to sack any of his aides who abuse Buhari

Governor of Ebonyi state, David Umahi 

Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi state, has vowed to sack any of his aides who insults President Muhammadu Buhari or any governor.

In a statement on Thursday by his special assistant on new media, David Nweze, the governor said castigating the president and any governor does not add value to his administration.



Umahi said, henceforth, any of his aides who insults the president would be sacked immediately.

“The Ebonyi State Governor, David Nweze Umahi, has prohibited any of his political appointees from castigating or abusing the Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari,” he said.




“Doing such to any government or any governor in this country has no value to add to his administration.

“The Governor has advised that anyone who wishes to throw an unnecessary stone against any of the above-mentioned leaders, should, in his or her own best interest, get ready to leave his government as such will attract immediate sacking.


“Any posting, henceforth, against the President, any governor or government from any of his appointees will attract immediate termination of appointment by him.

“If you want to castigate the President, his government or any governor, you must leave Governor Umahi’s government first. How does such castigation help the governor’s government?”

Within the last one month, Umahi has sacked two of his appointees (chief press secretary and commissioner for information and state orientation).



Recently, Umahi fired his chief press secretary for misrepresentation.
