November 25, (THEWILL) – An All Progressives Congress Senatorial aspirant for Ebonyi South Zone, Dr Mike Obaji, has urged opposition elements in the state to cease from fighting Francis Nwifuru, saying the governor meant well for the state.
He opined that with his victory at the Appeal Court, on Friday, Governor Nwifuru was more focused and poised to delivering dividends of democracy to residents of the state.
Obaji, who is a Professor of Mechatronics Engineering stated this during a meeting with journalists,in Abakaliki, on Saturday.
While hailing Nwifuru for his victory at the Court of Appeal, he said, “I congratulate the Executive Governor of Ebonyi State, His Excellency, Rt. Hon., Bldr. Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru for once again defeating the opposition detractors at the Court of Appeal, Lagos Division.
“I plead with Chief Ifeanyi Odii and Prof. Ben Odoh to withdraw from further distraction to the state governor who may likely become the best governor Nigeria has ever produced since 1999.
“I fear that Odii and Odoh may completely lose the remnant of political value few Ebonyians still place on them, if they continue to distract the governor.
“The best Igbo politicians should be doing is to sheath their swords and support one another for the economic growth of the region, and not to fight their own.”
Recall the Appeal Court, sitting in Lagos, on Friday, upheld the election that declared Francis Nwifuru as the governor of Ebonyi State.
The Court dismissed the appeal filed by the Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Dr Chukwuma Odii challenging the outcome of the Saturday, March 18 governorship election.
