UMAHI, THE GOVERNOR OF EBONYI, ASKS PARDON

With less than 29 days left in his administration, Ebonyi State Governor Dave Umahi has pleaded with the people of the state to forgive him for the faults of his administration.

The governor, who revealed this on Monday when addressing workers in the state to commemorate 2023 Workers' Day, admitted that he must have trod on people's toes during the past eight years while performing his duties.

The governor also pleaded with the people of the state to support the oncoming administration of governor-elect Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru, saying the former Speaker will pick up where he left off.

"Let me formally thank our dear workers for their partnership, love, prayers and cooperation these being eight years of my service in Ebonyi state.

"There is no doubt I stepped on toes and offended some. It was never intentional it was the best I knew and for the good of our people, please forgive.

"As I bow out, I have forgiven all those who thought they offended me. May God bless our state, our workers and our people."

This comes just a week after President Muhammadu Buhari begged Nigerians to forgive him for failing to achieve their expectations.
