September 12, (THEWILL) — A non-governmental organisation galvanising support for the re-election of Governor Francis Nwifuru has called on the people of Ebonyi State to disregard the communiqué issued by four of her suspended members, describing it as baseless and laughable.
This was contained in a press statement issued on Friday in Abakaliki and signed by the National President, Rt. Hon. Chris Usulor.
According to him, the suspended members, Uche Ali Ega, Maurice Mbam, Victor Unoke, and Victor Aleke, were sanctioned and suspended for gross misconduct and sabotage.
The leadership of Francis Frontiers (F-F), the foremost political support organisation for the reelection of Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru, has dismissed as baseless and laughable a communiqué purportedly issued by expelled members of the group, describing it as a desperate attempt to sow discord and mislead the public.
In a strongly worded statement signed by the National President of the group, Rt. Hon. Chris Usulor, the Francis Frontiers, said the so-called “vote of no confidence” from a handful of disgruntled elements amounted to political comedy, insisting that the group remains united and resolute in its mission to deliver total electoral victory for Governor Nwifuru in 2027.
Usulor, who described the claims of a “four-man cartel” as “ridiculous and self-indicting,” wondered why the same expelled members, namely Uche Ali Ega, Maurice Mbam, Victor Unoke, and Victor Aleke, who were sanctioned for gross misconduct and sabotage, are suddenly struggling for relevance in the media after being shown the exit door.
“If they call us a four-man cartel, why are they fighting tooth and nail to be identified with the same group they claim is hijacked?
“The truth is that Francis Frontiers is bigger than any individual. It is a people-driven organisation with one mission to project and protect the vision of our governor,” Usulor said.
The statement reaffirmed that Francis Frontiers remains “strong, united, and people-focused” and warned Ebonyians not to be deceived by propaganda from political jobbers “whose only stock-in-trade is blackmail and character assassination.”
Usulor further reminded the public that the leadership had long announced the expulsion of the aforementioned members for indiscipline and sabotage, urging party stakeholders and the general public not to transact any business with them in the name of Francis Frontiers.
“The so-called communiqué is nothing but recycled blackmail. Ebonyians know their true leaders, and Governor Nwifuru knows his genuine supporters.
“Our organisation is intact, our structures are solid, and our loyalty to His Excellency is total and unshakable”, the National President declared.
The Francis Frontiers leadership, therefore, called on all members, party faithful, and the people of Ebonyi State to ignore the “misleading theatrics” of the expelled members and continue to rally behind Governor Nwifuru’s administration and his 2027 reelection bid.
The leadership of Francis Frontiers had earlier come under heavy attack by some of her members, who passed a vote of no confidence on the leadership style of Rt. Hon. Chris Usulor, accusing it of running a 4-man cartel.
“This Cartel unilaterally appointed over 100 persons into various positions/Directorates without recourse to the executives and other stakeholders.
“The same Cartel fired duly elected or selected Local Government Coordinators of Ishielu, Onicha, Ohaozara, and Ohaukwu for no reason other than their selfish and fraudulent intentions”, the aggrieved members said.
