No Agreement That Gov Nwifuru ‘ll Govern For Single Term — Ebonyi APC
The Ebonyi State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has declared that there was no agreement reached at any point that the Governor Francis Nwifuru would relinquish his position in 2027 after serving a single term of four years.
State Publicity Secretary of the APC, Simbad Ogbuatu, in a statement made available to LEADERSHIP described the claim as false and misleading.
Ogbuatu added that Governor Nwifuru will complete his two interrupted terms.
“Let it be clear to all that Governor Francis Nwifuru is not leaving after four years. There was no agreement to the contrary, and any such claim is false and misleading.
“There was never any agreement to stop a man who is fulfilling destiny. Let this be clear; Governor Nwifuru is not leaving after four years.
“It is a fact that since the creation of Ebonyi State, no governor has ever ruled for just one term. History supports continuity, and today is no different,” the APC state spokesman said.
He noted that a few individuals who once watched from the sidelines were trying to distract and confuse the people. “But their imagination only reveals the content of their own minds. Ebonyians know better.”
He stressed that the party would not succumb to any intimidation or force from any individual or group.
“The strength of the APC in Ebonyi was not built through intimidation or force. It was built on unity, humility, peace, and most important “Good governance”. The government’s unwavering commitment to fulfilling its promises has earned her the trust and love of the people,” he said.
The APC further commended Nwifuru for his visionary leadership and commitment to good governance in the state.
“It is no longer news that Ebonyi State, under the dynamic leadership of Governor Nwifuru is on the right path to greatness. Governor Nwifuru-led administration is focused on building a stronger, better state, one that is greater than it was met.
“Governance is a continuum, and this present government is committed to sustaining progressive policies for lasting economic and infrastructural growth,” Ogbuatu added.
He further disclosed that the Chief Stanley Okoro-Emegha-led APC in the state has met with aggrieved members of the party during his tour across the 13 local government areas and 171 wards, and assured them of reconciliation, peace and inclusiveness.
