Gov. David Umahi of Ebonyi has vowed never to castigate President Muhammadu Buhari to prove that he was still in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).Umahi made the declaration on Saturday night in Abakaliki during a media chat and dinner he organised for journalists as part of the 2018 Democracy Day celebrations.

The governor noted that his decision was a matter of principles, stressing that Buhari remained his only boss.“I have left all those issues to political parties not because the president is doing everything right but because he is not God. 
 
“He might not be doing everything 100 per cent but it is not my duty to castigate my boss and will only face my duties.“It is also not my duty to write petitions about the past administration in the state and I am focused towards my duties as child of God who has a calling and is committed,” he said. 
 
The governor noted that corruption was not a party affair but an issue that has to do with the individual engaging in it.“The Bible says that with the fear of God, men depart from evil and without effective tackling of corruption, Nigeria will never develop. 
 
“It is not an issue concerned with the PDP and if those who decamped from the party to the country’s ruling party says it is corrupt, then they have infected their new party with corruption,” he said.He declared that his constant mention of opposition members in the state during solidarity rallies in his honour does not mean that he was threatened by their activities and antics. 
 
“No member of the opposition can stand for election with me because they have no base in the state and are only deceiving the people.“They are not working for the president as they deceitfully claim but are big minuses for the opposition party because most of them don’t own houses in the state. 
 
“They boast of using the federal might to rig the 2019 elections but the youths have warned anyone planning to execute such act to write two things: the fake results and his will,” the governor said.Umahi listed his administration’s development strides in education, health, human empowerment, infrastructure and security, among others, noting that Ebonyi would be Nigeria’s Dubai after his eight years tenure. 
 
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that journalists and individuals across the state and beyond asked questions on state and national issues.Top government officials including the Secretary to the State Government, the Chief of Staff, legislators and some cabinet members, among others, were however locked out because of lateness.But they were admitted into the venue after the interactive session.

he Adamawa Ministry of Health has confirmed that the cases of cholera outbreak in Mubi have risen to 434 with 13 deaths.The Information Officer of the Ministry, Mr Abubakar Muhammed, confirmed the number, via a statement he issued on Sunday in Yola. 
 
<a id="more" name="more"></a> 
 
The statement reads: ” Total number of cases reported from Mubi North and Mubi South Local Government Areas as at 26th May, 2018 stand at 434 cases with 13 deaths. 
 
” While the Case Fatality Rate (CFR ) is 3.0 per cent ; Mubi North has 211 cases and 7 deaths equivalent to 3.3 per cent case fatality rate.” Mubi South has 223 cases with 6 deaths and case fatality rate is 2.7 per cent.” 
 
The Principal Medical Officer of Mubi General Hospital, Dr Ezra Sakawa, however said that most of the infected patients have been treated and discharged. 
 
It will be recalled that Mubi was hit by cholera outbreaks two week ago, a development expert linked to contaminated water. 
 
About 90 per cent of Mubi residents obtain their water from water vendors, who source water from boreholes meant for irrigation along the banks of River Yedzaram.
