Constitutional lawyer Maduabuchi Idam has criticized Minister of Works Dave Umahi's promise to deliver Ebonyi State to President Bola Tinubu in 2027, labeling it a political ruse. Idam argued that Umahi and Governor Francis Nwifuru should demonstrate their ability to provide functional healthcare facilities and electricity to the state before making such a claim.
Idam emphasized that there is no tangible evidence of improved governance to back up such a promise, stating that one cannot sing the "Lord’s song in a strange land." He called for immediate action from Umahi and Nwifuru, such as establishing functional primary healthcare centers and addressing the ongoing electricity problems in communities like Afikpo.
Idam warned that without tangible improvements, the disappointment from the electorate could overshadow any potential support for the politicians.
