After a meeting with colleagues in the South East, the Ebonyi state governor met with journalists to discuss the effects of corruption and some measures.
Chief David Umahi said that organisations like EFCC, ICPC and others cannot stop corruption from growing.
“We should know that all these wealth are nothing. It must pass from one hand to another. The leaders of this country want to steal, so that their generation will not see poverty but it’s not true. Little sickness can take over the whole lots of that stealing.
He states that consciences can be appealed to and implored youths to have a rethink when making decisions. “I am pleading with Nigerian youths to have a rethink, let them do self reevaluation. A peanut can be given to them to destroy another person. How have they felt in the past two, three, four or five years? It doesn’t work.
Talking about his personal stand, he says, “One thing I have told the people of Ebonyi is that I will not share the money that is meant for developing the state to stakeholders. I will not share it, no matter whatever anyone can think, do or say.”
