Governor Umahi is like the proverbial witch rat. It bites your toe at night while blowing it cold so you don't feel the pain. Then you wake up with a deep sore in the morning realising you've nearly bled out. I will say this for the umpteenth time, Ebonyians will realise the much ruins that Umahi's government has caused the state when he's long gone. They will wake up to look for all the abstract and white elephant projects but they won't find any. The flyovers will turn to skeletons hanging in a museum. People would be scared to cross under them because the law of disuse would play out. Like an uninhabited house, it would wear, crack and tear, and God forbid, collapse. Lizards will occupy the ecumenical centre. Squirrels, grass cutters and pythons will bore holes at the international airport. Bats will inhabit The King David Umahi University of Medical Science. The tiles at the roundabouts will all scrape off and litter the roads, puncturing tires of careless commu...
