EXCLUSIVE: Gov Umahi Under Curse, Plans To Kill Prominent Ebonyi Leaders – Anyim

Former Senate President and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Anyim Pius Anyim, has taken a swipe at the governor of Ebonyi State,Engr.Dave Umahi ,accusing him of hatching a plan to assassinate him and other prominent leaders in the state.

Barely a fortnight ago, Umahi had defected to All Progressive Congress (APC). But his controversial defection to APC had plunged Ebonyi state into political crisis amid recriminations, accusations and counter accusations.

Gov.Umahi had accused Sen.Anyim, the former two-term governor of the state,Senator Sam Egwu and other political leaders of the People’s Democratic Party in the state of engaging in cultism.

Describing Gov. Umahi as a leader under a curse, the former Senate President noted that the present allegation against him and other PDP leaders in the state was an attempt to hide the sinister motive of the governor to kill him and other prominent leaders in the state.

He said:” It is clear that Gov. Umahi may have been told that he needed to kill a high profile person in order to achieve his mad ambition. Ebonyians should be wise and those he is prepared to use for the killing should know that after using them,he will also plan to kill them to cover his track. “

Anyim said that the only offense he and other political leaders in PDP committed is that they refused to follow Gov.Umahi in his “political adventure” to the defect to APC.
