David Nweze Umahi, known popularly as Dave Umahi, is the current Governor of Ebonyi State, Nigeria. The 57 year old, who has held this position since 12 April 2015, was re-elected as the State Governor on 16th day of March, 2019.

Umahi, who came into power under the platform of PDP, has now defected into the ruling party All Progressive Congress (APC), for many reasons, one of which being that “the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has been unfair to the Southeast Geopolitical Zone”.

As the number one Citizen of Ebonyi State, Umahi, just like other Governors is entitled to an official car that will be used to ferry him to his official duties.

Unlike the Lexus LX 570 SUV, which seems to be the choice cars of most Governors in Nigeria, Umahi prefers the more imposing Cadillac Escalade SUV.
