David Umahi, the immediate past Ebonyi governor, has said that he is happy that his successor, Francis Nwifuru, still honours him after leaving office.
Umahi
said this while speaking with newsmen after being conferred with an honorary
doctorate degree by the Ebonyi State University on Saturday in Abakaliki.
Umahi,
Minister of Works, said it was not common to hand over to a successor and still
be continually honoured by him.
“That
is the handwork of God and I am grateful to him and the governor.
“Governors
and their predecessors are fighting in many states but in Ebonyi we are always
celebrating.
“This
is the mercy of God and the wisdom bestowed on the governor,” he said.
The
minister commended Governor Nwifuru for sowing the seed of peace in the state
and assured that such would be sustained.
“You
can see that the state is on steady rise and what I could not finish as David
he is doing as Solomon.
“He
is my son in whom I am well pleased, he said.
Umahi
thanked the university for honouring him and others, and pledged to continue contributing
to its development.
”I
commend the Vice-Chancellor and management for the amazing feats recorded by
the institution, we all are proud to have a university with such records.
“The
job is easy when you are not the one doing it, and I thank the state governor
for his great works in the university.
“I
will consult with my fellow awardees and we would definitely offer huge support
to the university,” he said.
