Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru has given an assurance that he will not impose any candidate on the people in the forthcoming 2027 general elections.
The governor spoke during the solemnization of the holy matrimony between his younger brother, Paulinus Nwifuru and his heartthrob, Immaculata at the Government House Chapel, Abakaliki.
“I have not made up my mind to support anybody except President Bola Tinubu, who has demonstrated love and support to us as a state as well as Goodluck Obinna Mbam of the state House of Assembly whom the constituents have equally endorsed,” the governor said.
He called on aspirants to be mindful of their conduct and comments to avoid overheating the polity, urging them to align their fates with destiny.
“You can only be there, when God says so. Let us be calm, let us be humble” the Governor advised.
The governor disclosed that he will meet with stakeholders of the state to discuss how to achieve a seamless electoral process.
This was contained in a statement issued on Saturday by his Chief Press Secretary, Monday Uzor and made available to journalists in Abakaliki.
