"For any nation to develop its economy and sustain it, the leader must first build solid infrastructures".- John Maynard Keynes(1883-1946).
A great economist of the 19th and 20th Centuries, John Maynard Keynes is one of the five influential economists that changed the history of the United States of America. Historians sometimes refer to him as; the giant economist due to his fecund mind.
Today, Keynes economic position gives vent to Governor Umahi's realism. No nation can moot economic development without first and foremost put infrastructures in place. This is exactly what Governor Umahi does in Ebonyi State.
Governor Umahi is not just building infrastructures; he builds world class solid infrastructures for the present generation and for generations yet unborn. Even when cynics among us persist in a blinkered view of His Excellency's good works, world leaders who understand more and appreciate the mechanics of development hype his realism to high heavens because they know what it means to build solid infrastructures as fulcrum of economic development anywhere in the world.
Worthy of commendation too is Governor Umahi's poise to a logical completion of every project he started. Gone are the days when projects were awarded and abandoned half-way with impunity. Gone are the days too when contracts were awarded and contractors collected moneys and vanished into foreign lands with a classroom of mistresses and nothing happened. Happily, under Governor Umahi's watch, every contractor must deliver and on record time and under intense supervision. This is where His Excellency's leadership IQ is profoundly unique.
Governor Umahi has done so much that one is not surprised at the clamour by individuals and groups for him to make himself available for the 2023 presidential election as the signpost for a Nigerian President of Igbo extraction is daily magnified even though adversaries cannot see it because it was initiated by Governor Umahi.
In the world we live in as mere mortals, if out of jealousy and envy or hate you refuse to see nothing good in another person; so will nothing good be seen in you no matter how you try to convince humanity that you have tried. The things we do and think we are rubbishing others inspite of all their efforts, have a spiritual boomerang effect and it is inescapable.
In your evaluation, you expect that Governor Umahi ought to have done everything as if there is any leader, living or dead who did everything in Government even in the most developed nations. In your assessment, you expect Governor Umahi to achieve, in less than eight years what his two democratic predecessors couldn't achieve in sixteen years and you still "proudly" hold your head high as a critic? But you; what have you done to better the lot of those around you or you think it is only those in Government that should be doing something? Very laughable.
Criticism is good when it is constructive; honestly it is the beauty of democracy when done the proper way. But when criticism is aimed at "pull him down", it is no longer criticism; it is extremism and extremism of anything even of opinion is dangerous as it breeds violence. No amount of vicious propaganda can vitiate the fact that Governor Umahi has done well. No amount of scurrilous campaigns, blackmail and name-calling can derail his focus and determination to keep moving Ebonyi State forward.
Do you know that for the first time in our political evolution we have a leader who is laying a solid foundation for a virile and strong political economy in Ebonyi State? But instead of being applauded by the political bourgeoisie, they set barricades simply because of his refusal to bring our monthly allocation to a round table for sharing at the expense of the masses thereby incurring the wrath of Karl Marx in his grave.
With what Governor Umahi has done for Ebonyi State he had etched his name in gold and he has set a standard to be used as parameter to measure the performance of other Ebonyi State leaders after him and future leaders of Nigeria as 2023 beckons!
May Governor Umahi's great feats in Ebonyi State be replicated in the entire country as the Igbo nation move to occupy the presidency, come 2023.
In God we trust!
