The Governor of Ebonyi State, Francis Nwifuru, has promised that the imposition of candidates will be fiercely opposed ahead of the local government poll on July 20, 2024.
During a church service at the Government House Chapel, the Governor made this statement and pledged to ensure an even playing field for all candidates.
He claims that people at the grassroots and stakeholders would choose credible candidates to represent them.
Nwifuru disclosed this at the Holy Mass celebrated at New Government House Chapel Centenary City, Abakaliki.
This was contained in a statement released Sunday and signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Dr. Monday Uzor.
“I am delighted with the way and manner the Council Chairmen have handled the issue of security and the way they have interacted with the people at the grassroots. But as I told them last night, those who are seeking re-election should strive to earn the trust and support of the stakeholders and the people.
“Our party is a large one, therefore will do everything possible to resist the imposition of candidates. As a Governor, I will not have much to say on who becomes the next local government chairman,” he said.
He took the opportunity to warn public servants against bearing grudges that could damage the government’s reputation.
“I want to also use this opportunity to appeal to Ebonyians to tolerate their shortcomings. They are less than one year in office, therefore they are still in the learning process,” he added.
