Ebonyi to commence whistle blowing against Cultists
The governor of Ebonyi State, Engr. (Dr.) David Nweze Umahi has on Tuesday in the celebration of Nigeria Independence and Ebonyi at 23 at Pa Ngele Oruta Township Stadium disclosed his intention to introduce “whistle blowing” against cultists in the state as part of his continuous fight to clampdown down the practice of the act in Ebonyi.
Governor Umahi stated that though the state government through his empowerment programs have done so much in ensuring that the state is ridden off any form of cultism practice but he is not yet satisfied and as such, will be introducing Whistle Blowing against any form of cultism practice or activities in the state. http://www.bellsnews.com/politics/dave-umahi-joins-president-buhari-to-south-africa/
In his words, “We must continue to fight against cultism but let me say that the war against cultism has not started in Ebonyi State.
“To the general public, it appears that we have won the war but to me it appears that there is going to be very intensive war against cultism as there will be whistle blowers in this.
“When you have identification of anybody doing cultism and you get us through whistle blowing, you will have a reward and through this means, we will completely eliminate cultism in our society”,he said.
Recall that the governor had earlier declared zero tolerance against cultism in the state where he urged those in practice of cultism to desist and denounce same of which several persons numbering in hundreds voluntarily confessed and denounced the practice in Christ Embassy Church, got baptised and are now carrying on with their normal lives as Christains.
The governor has always maintained that no one who shed another man’s blood can go free without confessing and denouncing from such act as no successful man thrives through cultism.
Ends.
