Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State has lamented over the way and manner Nigerian leaders are treated within and outside the country.

He said; “Speaking ill of President Buhari and governors of various states in the country will not add any value to the progress of the country.”

“Castigating leaders openly will not add any value to what we seek rather our eyes should be on the ball.”

“We must as Nigerians do everything to uphold our cultural value and better ourselves outside the country. The way we are treated outside the shores of this land is not encouraging, we must have to do empirical evaluation of ourselves, we get devalued a lot in other nations.”

“I got calls from people in Ghana, saying that a lot of them are about to be sentenced, some people have been imprisoned for 1000 years and some 500 years imprison.”

“And so, it is important that as Nigerians, we should reevaluate our statues and our values because the way we are treated even as a governor, you don’t wear governor at the airport.”

“When I was in America, they singled some of us out and conducted a thorough search, it is an intimidation. We will not continue to live in such manner that bring humiliation to our nation, it is very important.”
