“Only Chief Onyekachi Nwebonyi will openly acknowledge that I am his father and boss,” said Mr Umahi. “The others feel that by doing so, the state governor, my successor, will be angry with them.”

“The governor cannot do that because he too openly acknowledges that I was instrumental to his emergence,” he added.
