The Wife of Ebonyi state Governor, Mrs. Rachael Umahi has said that she would be leaving the office of the First Lady of the State as a more fulfilled and gracious person.
Mrs. Umahi stated this during the official Commissioning of her New ultra-modern office at centenary city, new government house, Abakaliki.
She noted that she will be leaving her office at the expiration of her tenure as more gracious, more happy, more refined, more experience and more fulfilled.
She called on leaders to ensure they end well in their administration.
"Nobody checks the time more than the way I do and so, I am leaving the office more gracious, more happy, more refined, more experience, more fulfilled.
"Have you ever seen my name on the pages of newspapers for scandal? I don’t have pending EFCC visitation. If you want to rest, rest well. The world is enough for everybody but it is never enough for everybody with greed”, she stated.
The Governor’s wife identified patience, perseverance and listening ear as key to successful marriage and other achievements in life.
"A lot people are wondering, its barely a year and some months to the end of this administration, why the noise. Let me remind you, the end of a matter is better than the beginning. The perfection of what is started by God almighty is the end and it is always the best".
“I want to teach my women patience, perseverance, God’s timing. If you want to end well in any relationship especially marriage, have a listening ear to that person God sent to you. It is God who send a man to a woman. Do not judge the book by the cover; grumbling murmuring in a matter that you are not sure of, can lead you to hell fire.
"Those who are murmuring time is up, time is up, do you know, in the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, there are two tenures; four years.
"The people will now the time to review if they want you again. if they do, you will come for another four years. So, immediately you are buying the form, you already know the expiring date of you first tenure”, she stated.

She lauded her for giving women 40 percent during 2015 general elections.
"During 2015 campaign, Ebonyi women asked for 35% but mummy, you gave us 40%. This the first time in the history of Ebonyi that more women are elected as local government Chairmen. This is the first time in the history of Ebonyi state that a woman is now the ALGON Chairman".
"This is the first time in the history of Ebonyi state that three women are elected in the state House of Assembly. This is the fisrt time in the history of Ebonyi state that 12 women are appointed as members of the state exco”, she said. ENDS
