The Nigerian Government has approved the sum of fifteen billion naira for the establishment of a power plant in Ebonyi State.
Governor David Umahi announced this during a town hall meeting with people of Ezza Nation at the International Airport complex in Onueke, in Abakaliki the State Capital.
Governor Umahi said the project which would be the best in South East Nigeria would be sited in Umuoghara, Ezza North Local Government Area of the State.
He says, “I want to announce to you that President Buhari has approved a total of 15 billion naira project in Umuoghara, the best power plant in the South East in your domain.”
Governor Umahi also announced that the lInternational Airport would be ready for commissioning and flight operations in the month of April 2023.
“This Airport, I am building it without measure, the Federal Ministry of Aviation came here and said that it is the most beautiful and biggest in the entire Africa.
“By April we must commission this Airport. Before I leave, the Airport will be busy,” he said.
Governor Umahi also appealed to the people of Ezza Nation to support the Candidature of Right Honourable Francis Nwifuru for Governorship so that they too would enjoy the support of other clans at their time.
“Ezza people are very intelligent and enterprising, match Ezza people against any other clan, they may not match Ezza people.
“Ezza will never make themselves Governor, we must work in alliance, be strategic, be wise, I stand for Justice, equity and Fairness, if you don’t want to vote for Nwifuru, reduce the altercations.
“I am not asking you to drop your son, I am not God but I can tell you that your son will not win, I am not angry that South East voted for Obi, I am not angry because through Obi we have made a statement.
“We need to stop being parochial, stop being selfish.You will be everything you want to be, just restrategize to secure the future of Ezza Nation.
“If I have done nothing wrong to Odoh and he is castigating me, he will keep contesting election till the end of his life but he will never win, if I came in the name of God, there is nothing any Bishop or pope will do to reverse this curse”
“The State is bigger than one clan, go and do what you did in 2015, in 2019 and since I am still on board, go and cap it up on Saturday and leave the rest for tomorrow,” he explained.
