EBONYI STATE TODAY

Ebonyi State Governor, Chief Martin Elechi was on Friday booed by some party supporters during the presidential campaign rally of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abakaliki, the Ebonyi State Capital. This is also as the Governor was sidelined and denied the opportunity of speaking at the rally. Elechi was listed on item 9 of the official programme of the event to speak but he could not be called throughout the event, as the National Chairman of the party, Adamu Muazu handed the flag of the party to the governorship candidate of PDP, Engr Dave Umahi, who is also the Deputy Governor of the State. However, the immediate former Governor of the State, Dr. Sam Egwu rose in his defense, noting that “We have a leader in this state and why Ebonyi is one is that they are peaceful people, they are people that respect culture,they are people that respect authority, they are people that when their leaders speak they hear him.

Governor Elechi should start now to tidy up his documents and prepare a handover note. He should not forget to pay teachers' salary he ceased since September 2011,reason: that Ebonyi State teachers joined national NUT for a nation wide minimum wage implementation strike.                                                                                 Our biblical Dave whom God has given us in Ebonyi South Senatorial Zone as the next governor of the state in the person of Dave Umahi will deliver Ebonyi State workers from the hand of Goliath(Gov. Elechi and his people).
