Recall that Umahi paid a courtesy visit to President Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), yesterday in Aso Rock and informed him of his intention to run for President in 2023.

In reaction to this, HURIWA said Umahi has demonstrated a “dictatorial” disposition against the press and should “perish his dreams of becoming President of Nigeria or to resign as governor to enable his deputy complete his remaining one year in office”. Information Guide Nigeria

According to HURIWA, Umahi recently banned two journalists (Chijioke Agwu of Sun Newspaper and Peter Okutu of Vanguard Newspaper) from the Government House. The group also said the governor ordered the arrest of the two reporters over their reports on the Lassa Fever outbreak in the state and the alleged military invasion of Umuogodoakpu-Ngbo community in the state.
