Governor of Ebonyi, David Umahi has stated that insecurity in his state worsened after he defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).<\/p>\n

This was disclosed on Sunday by Umahi when\u00a0he featured on Channels Television\u2019s \u2018Sunday Politics\u2019.<\/p>\n

Recall that the Ebonyi governor defected from the PDP in November 2020 and attributed his decision to the \u201cinjustice\u201d done to the south-east.<\/p>\n

When asked about the worsening insecurity in Ebonyi, the governor commended President Muhammadu Buhari for his efforts, adding that \u201cif we didn\u2019t have the kind of president that is very humane and not vindictive, nobody would have known where Nigeria would have been by now\u201d.<\/p>\n

While saying Buhari has helped the south-east \u201ctremendously\u201d in security<\/a>, Umahi alleged that the insecurity in his state is politically motivated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis thing started like a joke and today, it is quite a big issue. In my state, there was a time that the insecurity was highly politically motivated and the targets were Imo state, the APC and Ebonyi state, the moment I defected. We didn\u2019t have this large scale of insecurity in my state until I defected,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Umahi said in an effort to curb insecurity in Ebonyi, the state government engaged the traditional rulers and community leaders.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we\u2019ve done in Ebonyi state is bottom-top approach. We had to engage some of the bandits and ask what the problem was. If it\u2019s infrastructure, we\u2019ve done that; if it\u2019s job curation, we have curated jobs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe bandits said they are angry about lack of what to do. And so, we said if their only problem is that they don\u2019t have formal education or jobs, we said if they will stop attacks on our strategic infrastructure, killing of our people, and attacking security agencies, we can rehabilitate them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have rehabilitated a number of them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
