Umahi said he did so much as governor and would want to rest after leaving office.

He said: “I have worked so hard from my youth, even harder for the government, but it is up to God to decide whether I should rest. God is on my mind, where He wants me to go, I will go and what He wants me to do, I will do.

“I keep saying leadership is about the fear of God, passion to work for the people and the realisation that this is a transitional camp.”
