According to the All Progressives Congress (APC) chapter in Ebonyi State, there was never any agreement made that Francis Nwifuru, the state governor, would step down in 2027 following a single four-year tenure.

The APC made it plain that such a claim was untrue and deceptive in a statement released on Sunday by Ogbuatu Chidi Simbad, the party’s state publicity secretary.

According to Ogbuatu: “Let this be clear: Governor Francis Ogbonna 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 Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru is not leaving after four years. There was no agreement to the contrary, and any such claim is false and misleading”.

“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”.

“Now, a few individuals who once watched from the sidelines are trying to distract and confuse the people. But their imagination only reveals the content of their own minds. Ebonyians know better”.

He emphasized that the party would not allow itself to be intimidated or coerced by any person or organization.

The APC spokesman said: “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”.

The Party also praised Governor Nwifuru for his dedication to effective government in the state and his innovative leadership.

“It is no longer news that Ebonyi State, under the dynamic leadership of His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru is on the right path to greatness. Governor Nwifuru’s 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 pointed out that the State APC, led by Chief Stanley Okoro-Emegha, has held meetings with members who feel wronged during his tour across the 13 Council areas and 171 wards, and assured them of reconciliation, peace and inclusiveness.
