It is excellent to get lots of sides of a guy before positioning his actions. Because an associate narrated of the Minister of Works, David Umahi, his journey to spotlight and the point at which he altered instructions, it has actually ended up being simple to comprehend his short lived mindset to nationwide problems. It remained in relation to Umahi's situation at a time when he was Deputy Governor in Ebonyi and what occurred after. He stated: “Umahi belonged to my Church– Christ Embassy up until 2015. In 2011, he was at our Annual Convention in Lagos, with his partner. He can be found in tears, weeping like a child, grumbling how his principal, Governor Martin Elechi was treating him even worse than a ‘shoe-shiner ‘. “Pastor Chris (General Overseer of Christ Embassy) stated we ought to wish him. All of us did, busily. He was informed that whether Elechi liked it or not, he (Umahi), would prosper him as guv of Ebonyi State. It occurred. Not long after, unwholesome stories emerged about Umahi. He left the church”.
That speaks on the character of the male– a typical pattern with gold diggers, who the minute they obtain their objective, turn versus everybody, including their benefactors. 16th century English playwright, poet, and star, William Shakespeare, positioned such characters in his excellent work, Julius Caesar. He composed; “It is a typical evidence that lowliness is young aspiration's ladder, whereto the climber up turns his face. When he when obtains the upmost round, he then unto the ladder turns his back, looks in the clouds, refusing the base degrees by which he did ascend”. That is David Nweze Umahi, a male of short size and narcissist propensities. Paradoxically, the method has actually paid him handsomely, seeing him make it through and be successful Elechi. Next was to come down on all individuals he went to at his minute of problem.
He lastly disposed the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the platform through which he reached power, for the All Progressives Congress (APC), on November, 19, 2020. Because signing up with the APC, Umahi has actually been playing the good-boy function to the power brokers in the celebration– very first to the previous President, Muhammadu Buhari and now President Bola Tinubu. The hatchet and clowning task has actually made him some benefits, initially as Deputy Senate Leader, though a firsttimer, in his short remain in the chambers, and ultimately, Minister of Works. He does not appear to have actually had enough. There are suspicions that he has eyes on greater premises however selects to do so stealthily, to stay in the excellent books of Tinubu. Robert Greene suggests such shenanigans, in his book; The 48 laws of power.
He recommends: “Keep individuals off-balance and in the dark by never ever exposing the function behind your actions. If they have no hint what you depend on, they can not prepare a defense. Guide them far enough down the incorrect course, cover them in sufficient smoke and by the time they understand your objectives, it will be far too late”. Previous Senate President, Anyim Pius Anyim, saw this characteristic in Umahi early enough. At a time when he was the guv, Umahi had actually implicated his predecessor, Sam Egwu, Anyim, his premium benefactor and others, of outlining to initiate a crisis in Ebonyi. “I desire the media to keep in mind that I reported a claims that some Ebonyi individuals are engaging cultists and according to them, some IPOB members, to begin eliminating and triggering a crisis in Ebonyi State in the name of combating the Ebonyi State Government and the guv. Their leader is Senator Anyim Pius Anyim and their members are Dr. Sam Egwu, Senator Obinna Ogba, Mr. Ali Odefa and others”, he declared.
These, by the way, were males he went to when, as deputy guv, he was actually being strangled by Elechi, the then guv. Anyim did not take the claims gently. Presuming Umahi of ominous objective, he petitioned the then President (Buhari) and Inspector General of Police (IGP), implicating him (Umahi) of wanting his life. Umahi leveling the allegation versus hm and other politicians in the state, was a start to a program he wished to perform, the erstwhile Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), reasoned. Anyim composed; “People who understand Umahi understand that he generally begins by doing this whenever he is hatching an ominous strategy. He raises dust, makes wild claims and allegations versus individuals simply to divert the attention of the general public before he strikes”.
#He explained the previous guv as pitiably delusional, a detainee of his greed and excessive aspiration. If you relate Anyim's summary of Umahi's shenanigans to his present attacks on the 2023 governmental prospect of Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, over the latter's remarks on the Lagos-Calabar Highway, you can then value his (Umahi)'s intention and what he wants to get from it. No job has actually maybe created much debate because the inauguration of the Tinubu administration as the 700-kilometre Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road, which the federal government flagged off on Saturday, April 27, 2024.
