On media evaluation of Governor Umahi's special position in the politics of the day in Ebonyi State, Egede Lawrence writes.
Apart from God who is overall in everything don't be surprised about this heading, because if we come to the aspect of the topic of politics, influence and contact, Governor David Umahi is an outstanding strength for the political flocks in Ebonyi State.
In PDP it was like that with him as Governor, in APC it is still the same thing and will continue till he leaves the present stage.
That's why every politician both friends and foes, even those of them outside politics are also concerned about him, as the incumbent Governor of Ebonyi State. That's what I mean here.
There is nothing anybody can do including the federal system in the State, without looking up to his incumbency reactions.
There is no doubt about the fact that if a special child is born in a family, there must have been a reason for it.
In the case of Governor Umahi, every grown-up, who knows him very well can testify that he has been a special free born, who is outstandingly productive and has come to good fruition and harvested wonderful results.
I have collated enough facts in my file about his activities so far, on issues of the day over his achievements in the State.
In his office, he is a Boss, in his home town he is a special child, in Ebonyi State, he is a governor and outside of all the above, he is a brother, he is a friend etc.
He has a rich history of winning his battles in politics, industry, business, influence, outreach, relationship, temptations and trials. His weak points are lean.
He is human and has his weak points, which could be a natural phenomenon as others also have as human beings.
I am particularly talking about how I rate him as a special one in the State, a governor who is still handling State affairs since 2015 in office till today.
In 2015 the level of sophistry, with which Governor Umahi got up to execute his Gubernatorial campaign was extraordinary.
Then in 2019 he gradually consolidated his second tenure ground and carried along other political mates at the federal to win their respective positions.
There is no single politician in Ebonyi State of today, who will tell me that Governor Umahi did not influence his/her success in those hectic times of campaign to cut costs and smoothly go on.
They also helped him and that's why they can't deny him at all in all areas of their group's political rapport. But he is still the Boss.
During that period between the interval of 2015 and 2019, if he appears anywhere for a group, his personality aura in politics paid many dividends to them.
Whether we like it or not because of political differences, Governor Umahi is indeed too sophisticated to be toyed with.
Even today, most baby and adult politicians have been living on his contributions in all areas of their public dealings.
That's why I am saying here that Governor Umahi is the strength of many old and new politicians in Ebonyi State.
To God is the glory forever.
