In Umahi’s words: “I saw where one misguided element that calls himself IPOB, said Mr. President is not welcomed in Ebonyi. He is inconsequential”.
“I was in Paris and I told Mr. President that the leaders of Southeast would want to visit him over the issue of peace in the region and appealed to him to postpone the visit till early next year.
“But I didn’t want to tell our people, because I was urging them to keep pushing our projects as if the President was going to come this year. And I’m not sure up to three or four people knew this; so, I kept it to myself”.
“So, Mr. President will come when we want him to come. That IPOB guy is an inconsequential human being. If he is serious, let him hit the wall and come to Ebonyi State and let him see if he would find feet to go back”.
“Somebody will sit somewhere and be talking rubbish and they will be misleading our children to go and be killed; but he himself will not be at the war front”.

“Any of them that will talk rubbish about security in the South-East, should come and lead the war. And I will also lead the war for Ebonyi State. And like David, we will always kill Goliath. When they talk rubbish, just ignore them. This land belongs to God.”
“They said I want to return to PDP, with all these achievements? That man that does not even have a road to his house, I say may God not forgive him.
