Dave Umahi: A lemonade for Ebonyi people
By Sunny Igboanugo
It is said that nature can give a man lemon, but cannot give him lemonade. He would have to pluck the fruit, crush it and make the juice for himself, before enjoying it hot or cold. Development, ensconced in the idea of democracy dividends, takes a cue from this.
As a reporter with The Guardian, in Enugu, I was one of those invited in 1996 to accompany Walter Feghabo, then a Navy Commander and the first Military Administrator of Ebonyi State, from the Enugu Airport to Abakaliki, the state capital, to assume duties after his appointment by the late General Sani Abacha.
The euphoria that day, was tremendous. Speakers after speakers acknowledged the obvious fact of developmental deficit staring them in the face. It was the stark reality emanating from decades of alleged neglect, transferred from the old Eastern Region through old Anambra and then old Enugu and Imo states, that later gave birth to Abia, through which part of Ebonyi was carved.
But the lamentations of the people at that elaborate ceremony, if anything, represented a minute fraction of the enthusiasm and hope, as the implication finally sunk in the people that they had finally taken their fate in their own hands. It actually gave impetus to a battle cry.
Then, gradually, brick by brick, the reconstruction began. As I became a regular visitor, in the line of duty, I saw Abakaliki, begin to take shape, more as the end of military rule, gave birth to democracy. It was a season of red roofs. That was the colour most government buildings seemed to have adopted.
It was not all glory though. Development, naturally has many shapes and sizes, including the good, bad and ugly sides. It was common on many occasions, to be summonsed to the state for news breaks, especially during the internecine political battle between Sam Egwu, the first civilian Governor of the state and Anyim Pius Anyim, former Senate President. But even then, Ebonyi continued to trudge on, brick by brick.
The last time I made a trip to the state, was sometime in 2009 from Lagos for a media tour organised by the state government under the last but one, headed by erudite sage, Martin Elechi. It was an impressive outing that took about three days of intensive activities, touring the project sites, from roads to agriculture, educational institutions and some other structures, some completed, others ongoing and many in the works.
However, what I hear filtering out from Ebonyi today, gives the impression that there is a genie from the magic lamp in the state performing some unimaginable feats. His name is Dave Nweze Umahi, an engineer, scholar and politician. He is said to have spread the state with a streak of projects, like nurseries on a rice farm.
Somebody described the number of projects embarked upon by the governor as agukata-agba-awaa – the Igbo hyperbole for uncountable, literally meaning that attempts to count could break a jaw. I hear that Ebonyi now has a brand new Government House. I hear also that he has built more than 500 different roads. There are also hundreds of classroom blocks, including teachers quarters.
But, the most prominent are the legacy projects, which he now flaunts. They are seven in number, viz: The International Shopping Mall, the Industrial clusters, including the waste to wealth recycling plant, the International Market, and New Building Material Market, about 20 flyovers, a brand new Dave Umahi University of Medical Sciences. The icing on the cake, is that the governor is also delivering a brand new airport to the state, before leaving office in just a matter of months.
No wonder President Muhammadu Buhari is always heading in that direction. In fact, Ebonyi, remains the state most visited by the President since assuming office in 2015, if not in the whole of Nigeria, then in the South East. I hear that another of such visit is already in the offing.
No wonder the governor had the confidence and courage to pick form and actually saw his contest through for the ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2023 election, where he sought the nation’s number one job, the only serving governor from the South East to dare.
Of course it is no longer news that he made very little impact, a development, which comes from a different trajectory altogether. Electoral victories at that level do not rest on performance alone. Rather it is a function of the Nigerian reality. I’m sure if Umahi had commuted the funds for the project into raw cash and distributed same to delegates during his campaigns, the outcome would have been different.
Nonetheless, the governor, does not seem deterred or dispirited from the original focus. He has instead, fired on with more gusto, a drive, which seems to derive its impetus from his peculiar philosophy as underscored by the plans of the founding fathers for the state and the people. In a recent interview I read, where the governor, explained the raison d’etre he explained that the gigantic projects he is building today derives from the burning desire to enhance the rating of his people in human development context.
Hear him: “I build mind-blowing projects to let, first and foremost, our brothers and sisters in the Southeast know Ebonyi State has come of age. So, if I have achieved nothing, it’s to instill confidence in our people because even when we talk about marginalisation of South East, you come to South East, we talk about the marginalisation of Ebonyi people. So, I built that project for people like you, to assure you that we went to the same school, that we have the same brain and that we’ve come of age and that nobody should neglect Ebonyi State again.
“To some people, we use it to punish them. Those who neglect us are being punished by this gigantic project and my projects are projects you can’t find anywhere in South East. You can crosscheck that. So, it’s for punishment. The benefit is to instill confidence in our people, to make our people number one in everything we do.
“That’s why when you are going to marry, you don’t wear tattered dress, and you ask yourself, what is the economic benefit of the beautiful dress you are putting on? It’s to instill confidence and make your bride to accept.”
It was interesting hearing him expand on that legacy on Monday when he appeared on Channels Television’s Politics Today, where he told his host: “We’ve turned Ebonyi State into a construction site. Even for five hours, you won’t be able to mention all the infrastructures we’ve put together in Ebonyi State.
“For me, the greatest legacy of my administration, are – the confidence we’ve instilled in our people, the confidence that our people can now boldly say, ‘I’m from Ebonyi State, by reason of the transformation that has taken place in Ebonyi State.”
He went on: “I’ve made more business people, I’ve made more engineers, I’ve made more contractors than the number of politicians that I’ve made. The infrastructure is given. It is one of the musts that you have to do. Education is a must, health is a must. But these things are very important, because when you build the people then they will build the nation. These are my legacies. People will be thinking that I’ll be talking about the international airport, I’ll be talking about the famous David Umahi University, I’ll be talking about the concrete roads of over 1,000 kilometres of eight inches concrete. No, my legacy should be on human capital development.”
More! The governor, also assured that he would not infest the state with the disease many states suffer – debt overhang either in form of infrastructure or wages, adding that he would ensure that his successor would not be handed a dead duck government.
Hear him: “My administration has not owed any pension or gratuity, but rather, we’ve paid a lot of backlogs, when we came on board. The balance of pensions and gratuities in Ebonyi State at the state level, is N3billion. What we did when we came on board was to use part of our Paris Club refund to offset most of the debts we met on ground.
“We plan in next year’s budget to pay off the remaining N3billion debts on pensions and gratuities. That is why you have the budget of the Ministry of Finance to be 19 per cent, which is the highest. What we intend to do is to pay off the N8billion we took from the UBA and then pay off the N3billion for pension and gratuities, pay off the N 3.5billion of the retention fees for our contractors. We also have the intention to give allowances to every civil servant in Ebonyi State as Christmas package.”
Now the jury is out about Umahi’s many other engagements, especially his politics. Not a few of his critics, are surprised that he has since decided to pitch his tent with the APC at this time, after getting everything he has in politics from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). There are also many who believe that he ought to align with the Labour Party (LP), the only party, with the brightest chance of producing the first President of Igbo extraction, a project, he seems to favour.
But Umahi seems not persuaded or sold on these sentiments, but rather appears to cling to party loyalty more. In fact, he boasts that there is no party in his state outside the APC. “Anybody that tells you that there is another party in Ebonyi State outside the APC, tell him to shut up,” he says.
To prove that, he has asked other states to stay away from making contributions as the campaign trail of Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu lands in the state on October 22. “I’m going to put about 50,000 Eboyians to come and welcome our presidential candidate,” he said.
Well, the taste of the pudding is in the eating, they say. The ultimate decider on how well Umahi’s politics has resonated with the people, in the contest of all politics being local, would be determined by the same people. That will be by next year when the governor files out against his opponents to contest the Ebonyi South Senatorial seat.
Regardless, what would come into little contention, is that the governor, has etched his name boldly across the pages of history of the state. Anyone that ignores him in this regard, as far as opening up the state to the world, must be an enemy. His philosophy of the Ebonyi Man, as standing shoulder to shoulder with his counterparts elsewhere, seems not only to have reflected the vision, hopes and agenda of the founding fathers as expressed at that event some 26 years ago, but achieved substantially. He therefore deserves a drink from the lemonade he has made out of the lemons nature has provided for his people.

With politicking intensifying ahead of the January 2027 election, opposition politicians have escalated their campaign of misinformation and calumny to diminish the impact and achievements of this administration over the last three years.
Two years ago, when the administration was struggling to deal with the unintended consequences of its historic reforms, the campaign would have made sense. But not anymore, as the administration can rightly claim bragging rights for what it has achieved against all odds and why the international community is applauding it for putting Nigeria irrevocably on the path of growth and development.
The impact of the three-year-old government is best felt at the subnational level – state and local levels. States that hitherto were unable to pay salaries by May 2023, with months of unpaid obligations to their workers and pensioners, are now doing so with ease and dreaming big about infrastructure. In every state I have visited, I have seen this development. Ogun, my state, Oyo, Nasarawa, Enugu, Ebonyi, Kaduna, Kano, Kebbi, Katsina, and others have witnessed development projects spring up, thanks to President Tinubu’s re-engineering of the federation’s finances and increased allocation to the states. When local councils begin to receive their allocations directly from the Federation Account, the Tinubu effect will ensure that more governance cascades down to the 774 local councils.
State governors who have benefited from this policy have openly admitted that increased allocations have enabled them to bring social and infrastructural development to their states. Many opposition PDP governors who joined the APC did so for this reason—not for the baseless claim that President Tinubu bribed them. Governor Abdulrazak said in December 2024 that his administration embarked on more projects in the first 18 months of Tinubu’s presidency than in his first four years. The Governor of Ebonyi, Nwifuru, who is building iconic underpasses and overpasses in Abakaliki, credited his ambition to President Tinubu. Governor Peter Mbah similarly attested to this, crediting the Naira rain from the centre for his programmes. And Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule, who understands how Tinubu’s financial re-engineering and the end of the subsidy regime have increased the states’ fortunes, said President Tinubu “has taken the bullets for all of them.”
In May 2023, President Tinubu inherited acute petrol scarcity, an unsustainable petrol subsidy regime due to expire in June 2023, multiple exchange rates, arbitrage, and low revenue, with at least 30 states unable to pay workers, let alone fund infrastructure and social projects. Debt servicing consumed 97 per cent of Federal revenue. Additionally, food scarcity and inflation plagued the country as farmers abandoned their fields, recording massive losses amid the currency squeeze introduced by former CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele.
President Tinubu, guided by the Renewed Hope Agenda, wasted no time. He threw the ruinous subsidy out of the window from Day One. Days later, he floated the Naira and ended the artificial fixing of the Naira-to-dollar exchange rate, a system that had enabled well-connected individuals to profit effortlessly. Tinubu declared a food emergency and announced the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms to examine our outdated tax laws, some of which date back to the colonial era. Immediate gains included encouraging dry-season farming, with subsidies and inputs provided for farmlands abutting dams and irrigation sites in at least 14 states.
Even by President Tinubu’s admission, the early months and the first year were tough as the government implemented its programme. The cost of living went up, and businesses claimed the harmonised exchange rate had put them in the red. A few companies even closed shop and left our shores. On the streets, some Nigerians claimed that the policies have left them hungry, a sentiment the opposition still parrots to this day, without any empirical proof. If not sure of the salience of his reforms, President Tinubu would have taken a reverse gear in fright and abandoned all the new reform policies amid the avalanche of attacks from critics and opposition elements in the media. Instead, he persisted.
Two years after the first challenging year, the story has changed for good. However, some opposition elements are stuck in the sentiment of 2023/24, unyielding and adamant about acknowledging the many gains and milestones achieved by the Tinubu administration. But only the blind will fail to admit that this government has taken the country miles away from the state it inherited in 2023.
The stock market is clear proof of the administration’s economic success. In May 2023, Tinubu met the All-Share Index at 53,000 points and the market capitalisation at N30 Trillion. Today, the ASI has risen five times, to a record 250,000 and a market capitalisation of N160 Trillion. Blue-chip companies, including those initially negatively impacted by government policies, are declaring record profits and dividends. Equally, foreign portfolio investors are flocking in to partake in the Nigerian boom. This is not a bubble. It shows that a fundamental paradigm shift has occurred in the economy, all thanks to the Tinubu administration’s policy direction.
In recent weeks, I revisited the manifesto and policy ambitions that won us the election. The Tinubu administration has faithfully implemented its Renewed Hope Agenda, striving to resolve in three years the cumulative problems of decades.
Roads that will outlast this generation are being built nationwide. I recently went home to Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, and was amazed that the highway to my town from the Shagamu intersection now has a concrete pavement, thick enough to withstand the traffic of trailers from the West to the East. The most audacious road projects ever undertaken by any administration since independence are the Illela-Sokoto-Badagry and the Lagos-Calabar coastal superhighways. President Shehu Shagari conceived the Sokoto-Badagry highway in the early 80s. Succeeding administrations, afraid of the huge cost, abandoned the road. The Lagos-Calabar has also been on the map for decades, but no leader has ever dared to turn the idea into reality. President Tinubu has proven to be a transformative leader who has decided to turn the roads into reality, adding new roads to our road network for the first time, beyond those we inherited from the colonialists. Myopic critics of the two roads have assailed the Tinubu administration for taking loans to accomplish them. How else could the roads have been built if we rely only on FG’s share from FAAC? Relying solely on federal allocations would mean waiting 50 years or more, with costs ballooning out of reach, as in the metro-rail to nowhere started by presidential aspirant Rotimi Chibuke Amaechi in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. In the states, governors are building roads of similar standards. I saw some of these in Ogun, Kaduna, Ebonyi and Enugu.
As with roads, the Tinubu administration is also investing heavily in rail transportation, with the Kaduna-Kano-Gusau-Maraadi rail network scheduled for completion next year. City rail networks in Kaduna, Lagos, Kano and Enugu have been approved for construction, along with the Lekki-Ibadan rail.
When historians write about the Tinubu administration in 2031, they will not remember it only for audacious road and rail networks, but also for historic reforms. The oil and gas sector is one area in which the administration has impacted the country. Apart from ending the regime of wasteful subsidies, the government has instituted reforms that have made the sector attractive to fresh investment. International Oil Companies(IOCs) that once shunned our country are returning with billions of dollars in investment. Domestic refining and the innovative Naira-for-crude policy are ensuring energy security, thereby avoiding acute scarcity arising from the disruptive war against Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. More recently, the administration enacted a policy requiring the NNPC to remit oil sales proceeds to the Federation account.
Confronted by the administration’s stellar performance, the opposition and media propagandists dredged up a campaign video of the President promising a 24/7 power supply. They distorted his words. What he actually said was: “Whichever way, by all means necessary, you will have electricity, and you will not pay for an estimated bill anymore. A promise made will be a promise kept. If I don’t keep the promise and I come for a second term, don’t vote for me, unless I give you adequate reasons why I couldn’t deliver.”
What the distorters failed to admit was that the Discos, privatised since 2013 by President Goodluck Jonathan, are responsible for delivering power to the end consumers, not the Federal Government. What this government has done in the last three years has been to address the problems hindering the capacity of Discos to deliver, such as bringing Siemens to strengthen the grid, activating idle GENCOs, and planning to clear the N4 trillion legacy debts owed to GENCOs and GASCos, which will encourage new investments in the sector. The government has also massively implemented its metering policy, providing over 2.5 million meters to homes. Recently, the Tinubu administration announced the establishment of GAMCO, the Grid Asset Management Company, which will optimise power supply and activate idle facilities.
One of the administration’s impactful programmes, apart from issuing passports in less than a week, is the introduction of NELFUND and CREDICORP in 2024. While Credicorp is making loans available to civil servants to buy Made-In-Nigeria products, NELFUND, with N282 billion committed so far, has made tertiary education more accessible for our children. About 1.6 million Nigerian students have benefited. Payment of school fees and stipends is assured for the children, and the government has also renegotiated the 2009 ASUU-FG agreement, such that in the last three years, our universities, along with the Polytechnics and Colleges of Education, have been spared the disruptive academic strikes. Let’s give the Tinubu government some slack: a four-year programme is now a four-year programme. He promised it during the campaign and has delivered. The government has also invested in technical schools, offering students pursuing vocational education allowances. In the universities, TETFUND is once again funding research grants for dons willing to pursue ideas that will be useful to our society.

Today, a four-year programme in the universities, polytechnics and colleges of education is completed in four years. Technical schools offer allowances to vocational students, and TETFUND is funding research grants to academics.
It has not been all rosy the past three years, especially in the area of making our people safe from the band of bandits and terrorists. While the armed forces have been locked in an asymmetrical war against these heartless elements, neutralising their leaders and foot soldiers in several theatres of conflict, the displaced terrorists are attacking vulnerable areas in some of the states, killing and kidnapping. The government is unrelenting in providing the armed forces, intelligence agencies, and police with the tools they need to wage the war. With support from friendly governments like the US, France, and the UK, there is hope that the menace of kidnappers and their political sponsors will become history. The man who has taken the bullets to make Nigeria survive a fiscal disaster is even more willing to take additional bullets to make all Nigerians safe.

Let us begin with a confession. There is something unsettling about a politician who no longer appears to struggle.
In the turbulent theatre of Nigerian politics, where noise is often mistaken for relevance, where primaries resemble wrestling contests and delegate management demands the instincts of a hostage negotiator, a man who walks in unopposed does not merely win. He transforms the entire contest into a rehearsal.
On Monday, May 18, 2026, at Methodist Primary School, Ukana, in Essien Udim Local Government Area, Senator Godswill Akpabio did exactly that. No contest. No drama. No nervous counting of votes. He simply emerged as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the Akwa Ibom North West Senatorial District without a single challenger.
While many politicians remain trapped in the exhausting rituals of horse trading, factional bargaining, and survival politics, Akpabio’s good works delivered something far rarer in Nigeria’s political environment than gold itself. Absolute consensus.
To the casual observer, an unopposed return may suggest the absence of competition. That would be a dangerously shallow interpretation.
Those familiar with the political phenomenon long associated with the “Uncommon Transformer” understand the distinction clearly. An unopposed ticket does not mean nobody desired to contest. Politics naturally attracts ambition the way light attracts insects. Power always generates interest. Influence always provokes aspiration.
What an unopposed return truly means is far more significant: potential challengers surveyed the landscape, studied the numbers, weighed the networks, measured the emotional connection between the man and the political structure around him, and quietly concluded that the road to victory simply did not exist.
There is a profound difference between lack of opposition and the collapse of viable opposition
Why is there no road to victory for others? Because what Akpabio has built in Akwa Ibom State in general and Akwa Ibom North West in particular is no longer merely a political structure. It is a fortress. Its walls are not made of concrete. They are made of cultivated loyalty. Enduring networks. Strategic generosity. And the unspoken understanding that confronting him politically is not simply difficult. It is often futile and absurd.
The atmosphere at the ward centre resembled less a political exercise and more a carnival of affirmation. Supporters, community leaders, women groups, youths, and party faithful gathered not to determine an outcome but to endorse a grace carrier already settled in the public imagination. The votes were counted without end. The votes were celebrated.
Here is the remarkable part.
The whispers surrounding Akpabio’s dominance do not come only from admirers. They come from seeming opponents too.
They do not fear his voice. They fear his results. They do not tremble at confrontation. They confront something more sobering: the recognition that within his political territory, the arithmetic has been solved with almost clinical precision.
While others are still assembling coalitions, Akpabio consolidated his long ago. While rivals continue calculating delegate figures, he has already moved to the next question: what happens after victory? How does political power translate into enduring relevance and measurable impact?
That is the distinction between a career politician and a political architect. One chases office. The other shapes the terrain on which the chase itself occurs.
Since assuming office as President of the 10th Senate, Akpabio has projected a measure of stability within the Red Chamber. That should not be understated.
The Nigerian Senate has earned a reputation for turbulence over the years. Leadership rebellions. Internal fractures. Floor dramas that generate headlines while weakening governance and social democratic structures. Against that backdrop, a Senate President capable of maintaining institutional stability without recurring crises becomes more than merely effective. He becomes uncommon.
His admirers see in him a politician who has consistently combined institutional authority with emotional loyalty from his base through the National to International arena. From Governor to Minister to Senate President, his rise is framed as the journey of a man who understood tomorrow before others arrived there. A politician deeply conscious of timing, alignment, and the delicate craft of converting social capital into durable influence and uncommon power (political capital).
This point matters enormously. Political capital is easy to squander. This point matters enormously. Political goodwill is easy to destroy. Many politicians exhaust it through arrogance, exclusion, or the endless pursuit of personal advantage. But Akpabio appears to understand something deeper about leadership: goodwill grows when people genuinely feel seen, valued, included, and carried along.
Over the years, he has cultivated relationships not merely through politics, but through accessibility, generosity of spirit, loyalty to associates, and an unusual ability to make people feel remembered even in the midst of high office. That is why his support structure often appears less like a coalition held together by convenience and more like a community bound by shared experience and enduring personal connection.
What some interpret merely as political dominance may actually be the long-term harvest of sustained human investment.
And perhaps that explains the ease with which the field gradually cleared around him. Not because opposition was forcibly silenced, but because many within the political environment saw little wisdom in disrupting a consensus built around continuity, stability, experience, and an existing relationship of trust.
His commitment to continue working closely with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Umo Eno reinforces a broader message of continuity and strategic alignment. At a time when fragmentation remains the temptation of many ambitious actors, Senator Akpabio has chosen coordination. That is not a weakness. It is political arithmetic.
And this is where the conversation shifts from the present to the near future. The same political capital that secured his senatorial return without resistance is not a one-use currency. It accumulates. It compounds. The goodwill he has cultivated, the equilibrium he has maintained, and the pragmatic preference for results over rhetoric are not merely tools for another Senate term. They form the foundation of something larger and forthcoming.
The crystal ball is not required to observe the trajectory. A Senate President who secures his own return effortlessly, stabilises a chamber historically associated with instability, aligns himself with the centre of national power grid while maintaining grassroots legitimacy, is a Senate President who has solved one of Nigerian politics’ most difficult equations.
He has demonstrated to his colleagues that he can deliver. He has shown the party hierarchy that he can be trusted. He has reassured constituents that proximity to power has not disconnected him from them.
This combination is rarer than any single attribute standing alone. So when the 11th Senate eventually convenes and the question of leadership emerges once again, the conversation may prove shorter than many anticipate. Not because there will be no interested contenders. There always are. But because the arithmetic of loyalty, institutional experience, strategic alignment, and demonstrated political capacity will already have completed its quiet work.
Akpabio has not formally declared interest in leading the 11th Senate. He does not need to. The declaration already exists in the pattern of his movements, the stability of his stewardship, and the political field he has cleared without visible strain. It is simply the discipline of reading political signs as they present themselves* .
In the end, Nigerian politics rewards those who understand the people more deeply than those who merely master performance and noise.That is not sentimentality. It is a political reality.
A politician capable of delivering his constituency without violence, panic, or emergency intervention is a politician who understands something fundamental: power is never truly declared. It is demonstrated. And it is demonstrated most convincingly when nobody steps forward to challenge it.
On that Monday in Ukana, the drums rolled. Praises echoed across the gathering. And the political message arrived without ambiguity. In Akwa Ibom North West, the conversation has moved beyond opposition. What remains is an audience waiting to see the next chapter unfold without ceasing.
Senator Godswill Akpabio has once again reminded observers that in certain political spaces, dominance is not always loud.
Sometimes, it is simply complete. And in the intricate chessboard of Nigerian politics, where many players are still learning how the pieces move, that level of mastery remains rare, consequential, and deeply potent.
The man who saw tomorrow understood something else too. The loudest voice in the room is rarely the one that prevails.
The one that prevails is the one that no longer needs to shout because everybody already understands. And that is what Senator Godswill Akpabio has demonstrated that he is the man who saw tomorrow.
