Please sir,I think that Nigeria need human manager more rather infrastructural manager as you said toward the end of this video. I am from Ebonyi state and I will tell you that you're probably among the best governor in terms of infrastructural development. But if human being are not being invested in, the infrastructures will not be useful.

[@Neduski]

I'm not a fan but the Governor gave a good account of his tenure so far. He eloquently meandered around Rufai's Tales by Moonlight while exuding calm. Also showed some humour...9.5/10.

[@MrRoyck10]

Umahi is good at executing infrastructures but building any such infrastructure must be strategic to add economic value, that is a good skill but there are more qualities of a good leadership, Peter Obi has the intellectual capacity to create a sustainable value system for the whole of Nigeria. Umahi will not be transformational as a president of Nigeria, he will be better than both Buhari and Tinubu, I suppose. I love Rufai but he needs evidence of Umahi placing his cronies into government and the question of accountability more investigation should be done before tabling those questions as he only made Umahi look good due. Good attempt Rufai. Umahi is the best performing governor in Nigeria he just lacks the charisma and the intellectual capacity when compared to Peter Obi.

[@onyiaugochukwu4309]

😂😂 when compared to who?

[@johnaboshim9881]

I beg to differ with your opinion. PO is very sound and understands micro economic policies, admittedly, but they are so many others who can do same. Whilst PO accumulated money for the people of Anambra, Umahi has build infrastructures that would withstand the test of time. All the 71 billion Obi left was squandered in less than a decade but Umahi's structures would be there for centuries to come. If we truly want to build a nation then Dave Umahi is the man to support. PO will do well as coordinating minister of the economy and finance.

[@Stunna_K]

It is a thing of progress for Ebonyi State, if you are the present best governor they have witnessed since Nigerian democracy. Every aspect of this nation needs progress at a significant rate. The people have been suffering for too long. However, you did not respond to the criticism of salary slash. For a fact, you acknowledged and bragged about the salary slash accusation by comments of your salary to civil servants being above the "minimum wage". That is not good enough, sir. "Minimum wage" is the lowest legal remuneration an employer could pay an employee. That being stated, a qualified teacher is expected not to earn that EXACT amount just as much as a certified engineer is not expected to earn the same. That amount should be for the least of qualifications for a job OR for the least of jobs. As a governor, if i should go by your comments on this subject, then you should just earn "the minimum wage" or fractions higher. On the subject of security, "Sit-At-Home" is not a security issue! We love hypocrisy in this country. That is a simple show of solidarity that another brilliant loyal breed of a people do not just go to waste in the hands of the authority like many others like Dele Giwa, Ken Saro Wiwa! Insecurity in this country amounts to nothing else but the "incessant murder and kidnapping committed at will" by certain people who for a fact have never been made to face the law! You had same issue in your state. How did you handle it? Nigeria does not need a politician; class of people who sugar-coat facts. We need a "human" who sees the ill in the society and calls it for what it is! Acknowledgement of such could only yield positive reactions and pro-activeness to issues, if such a person is allowed the power to attend to the issues. A person who calls a spade a shovel is far from the person needed at this point for the job of a GCON.

A disgrace if a journalist this Rufa'i guy. Didn't get one of his facts right and claiming them as facts. He was so lonely out there. Western journalist aren't a yard stick for anything, they're only good at reporting lies and spreading propaganda, there nothing to emulate. All these pretentious arise reporters who are speaking with a fake accent should reform themselves or be sacked because they will bring this channel down eventually I tell you. Reuben talks with his normal 9ja accent and was very polite and immediately mellowed down when he realized how stupid Rufa'i was making them all look but the Rufa'i guy was just too arrogant and kept insisting that his social media info were facts. Na wa Ooo for this Rufa'i guy. We need journalists with courage to ask hard questions but you must be factual, polite and respectful. Stop trying to copy all those western reporters who do not respect people. You can still ask tough questions and still be respectful. You're an african you need to show more respect and humility when you're wrong.

They vehemently hated on Tinubu for bringing Buhari. In fact, they blamed him for every step Buhari took and did not take. They cursed Buhari once and Tinubu twice as much for all the expectations that were not met. They mocked Tinubu when Aisha relocated to Dubai. They gloated Tinubu when Yusuf had an accident. Tinubu was the reason bandits are killing. Tinubu was this and that. They all knew he brought Buhari. Now the man said he brought Buhari... All hell let loose. They vehemently hated on him for verbalizing his contributions to the emergence of Buhari. They asked if he was God and why he should dare say so. But none of them has come out to say he lied, because they all know it's true. They have helped Buhari fabricated all kind of punishments worth melting out to him. They have helped Oyegun to disqualify him from running. They have sealed Monday and Tuesday. Hypocrites! By the way They even coronated someone as "Eleyi of Ogun state"; forgetting that a son is ever an Eleyi in the reckoning of his father. Any political son who doesn't want to be an Eleyi should please stop soliciting political power from his political father. Let him venture into the street alone and let's see what he brings back home all by himself. Eleyi ni Iya gbogbo won!
