Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State has expressed absolute confidence in the divine assurance he received concerning his victory in the 2019 general election in the State.
Speaking on Sunday at Onueke, Ezza South Local Government Area headquarters, during the inauguration of Ebonyi Central Divine Mandate Campaign Office, Umahi maintained that he received the assurance from God while praying in church.
According to him, the voice of God, in response to his prayers, declared him insulated against any challenger in the forthcoming elections.
Umahi said: “As I was praying in the Church today, God told me that I will look in the front, at my back, left and right in 2019, and no man will challenge me.
“I have joined all Peoples Democratic party aspirants in the State in the vow I made before God through which He is able to deliver victory to all in 2019.”
Umahi, who charged members of his party, especially candidates in the area, to immediately intensify door-to-door campaign and mass sensitization of the public on the landmark achievements, initiatives and policies of his administration, assured the Ezza clan that more roads, including the Ameka Road and Nkaliki-Oriuzor Road, have been put in the 2019 Budget.
The Governor, who further maintained that hunger had remained the trade mark of the opposition All Progressives Congress members in the State, described the gubernatorial contender in the opposition as a betrayer who rode on the back of the PDP to clinch the senatorial seat in 2015 only to turn its back against the party.
He stressed that in line with the Law of Karma, the opposition governorship aspirant in the State should expect nothing less than reciprocal betrayal in his ambition in 2019 and advised him to have a rethink and save his money.
