BY NDUBUISI NWOGHA, ABAKALIKI The Ebonyi State Commissioner For Capital City and Urban Development, Barr. Onyekachi Nwebonyi has described the announcement of scholarship to 222 best Nigerian students by the state governor, Engr. David Umahi as a clear demonstration of his believe in a united entity.

Barr Nwebonyi in a statement signed by the duo and made available to us hinted that the gesture was rare, adding that the uncommon demonstration of the governor in extending his benevolence gift across the 36 states has proven his leadership ingenuity. He emphasized that governor umahi's philosophy on one united and indivisible country was brought to fora in the gesture. The Capital City Commissioner noted that the state at different points in time has made donation of food items among others to IDPs at the North East, including political appointment of non Ebonyians in his government. He called on Nigerians to support the political ambition of the state governor Engr. Umahi who has proven his capacity to bring his leadership prowess to the development of the country. According to him, "Umahi's offer of scholarship to best students across Nigeria, a rare demonstration of magnanimity".

"One of the rarest political gestures that have been witnessed in the Nigerian political arena is a state governor extending his activities beyond the state he governs. But, the governor of Ebonyi State, Engr. Dr. David Nweze Umahi has shown that Nigerians are the same and should benefit from whatever is available. This philosophy of Engr. Dr. David Nweze Umahi has been made more manifest by his recent offer of scholarships to 222 best students across Nigeria. This is rare gesture that has hardly obtained in another state in Nigeria. Yet this is not the first time Governor Umahi is demonstrating such uncommon magnanimity". "Evidently, Governor Umahi has been in the habit of extending his benevolence to people outside Ebonyi State. In terms of political appointments, no part of Nigeria has not benefitted from his administration. In terms of Covid-19 palliatives and food donations to IDPs in the Northeast, Umahi has shown that he is for all Nigerians". " I congratulate him for this rare scholarship gesture and pray God to give him the opportunity to be of service to the whole country". "Congratulations, the Godsent for the development of Nigeria!"
