people and the law that established us. There is no gain repeating to you that there has been drastic reduction of crime in Ebonyi state. It is visible’’
On Yoruba Igbo and Hausa as it is today, Mr Awah said, that nothing has gone wrong; ‘’if people keep saying they want to go, others may as well respond’’.
‘’Yoruba and Hausa do not hate us, somebody may get irritated with your excessive use of hate words in the name of “I want to go” and he will simply react the best way he thinks may answer you in return, but the truth remains, they do not wish us to leave their land’’.
On his acquaintance with the state Governor, and his subsequent appointment as a Technical Assistant on Security, Mr Awah said;
‘’Nigerians from various professions and countries of their sojourn have come home to contribute their quota to the development of this country but many were disappointed because of misconception. You may not understand how frustrating it could be when you live outside the country and you see things working fine as if to confirm that God made man in his image and likeness and back home things don’t seem to move, every situation spells metaphor of failure’’.
‘’During his campaign, the Governor said some people were ashamed to identify themselves as Ebonyians and that he was going to change that.’’
‘’Sincerely speaking he was right. That was the day I made up my mind to work for my State with all my heart because it was with hesitation that we accepted we were from Ebonyi, but today, just two years after, the story is different’’.
‘’Eboyians are proudly posting on the social media that they are from here. His approach to everything is just revolutionary. I am happy working with him and at his digital pace’’.
