Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State has disclosed that contrary to insinuations of a strained relationship between him and Okorocha, his relationship with the outgoing Imo governor has been cordial.
Umahi made the declaration late on Monday in Abakaliki during a media chat with newsmen to showcase his performances in four years and projections for his second tenure.
“Okorocha is our leader, a great son of Igboland and we are in very good terms,” he said.
Umahi also noted that he would support the re-election of Mr Francis Nwifuru as the Speaker of the state House of Assembly if the members support his re-election.
He also warned that any Permanent Secretary-designate who perform poorly within two months in office would be retired from the state civil service, while those who perform creditably will be retained.
He disclosed that the permanent secretaries were selected from Grade Level 14 and above, with emphasis on those who have about four more years to stay in the civil service.
“I, however, offered a waiver to the Accountant General of the state and the Director of Works in the Ministry of Works who have one year in service because their experience is still needed,” he said.
