In a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday, June 6, the President of AEISCID, Pascal Oluchchukwu, said the current governor's administration had not shown any sign of governance.

He said:
“About one week he took oath of office at the Abakaliki Township stadium, we are astonished that the Ebonyi electorates are yet to see any visible signs of governance, not even the appointment of his kitchen cabinet members.
"Rather, this group has been reading reports that his predecessor, Umahi has still been inspecting works at the sites of some yet-to-be-completed projects in the State."
The AEISCID task Governor Nwifuru to get a hold of himself and perform his duties as expected rather than listen to ex-governor Umahi's dictates.
According to Tribune, the statement reads:
“We challenge Nwifuru to either take charge of the helm of affairs and hit the ground effectively running like his Enugu and Abia counterparts in the region or resign for a competent hand that understands governance to take over."
