Criticize Buhari, Get Sacked – Gov Umahi Tells Aides

Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State has cautioned his aides against criticising the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

In a statement on Thursday by his media aide, Francis Nwaze, Governor Umahi warned his appointees against insulting the president.

He stated that insulting the presidency or any state governor would not add value to his administration.

The statement said Umahi “has prohibited any of his political appointees from castigating or abusing the Nigerian President, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.

“Doing such to any government or any Governor in this country has no value to add to his administration.

“The Governor has advised that anyone who wishes to throw an unnecessary stone against any of the above-mentioned leaders, should, in his or her own best interest, get ready to leave his government as such will attract immediate sack.

“Any posting, henceforth against the President, any Governor or government from any of his appointees will attract immediate termination of appointment by him.

“If you want to castigate the President, his government or any Governor, you must leave Governor Umahi government first.”
