The All Progressives Congress(APC), Ebonyi State chapter has officially kicked off its State-wide local government areas campaign rallies.
The kicked-off was held on Wednesday, in Iboko, the headquarters of Izzi Local government area of the State.
Addressing party supporters at the event, the APC governorship candidate for the State, Hon. Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru pledged to govern the State with the core values of honesty, integrity and dedication.
Nwifuru, Speaker of Ebonyi State House of Assembly, further pledged to bring innovations in the State civil service, education, health, agriculture, infrastructure and other sectors, in line with the strong foundation already laid by his predecessor.
Nwifuru emphasized that his administration would encourage entrepreneurial education through the introduction of local dialects in school’s curriculum for the teaching and learning of science and technology.
Describing himself as a child of destiny, he attributed his achievement so far to God’s grace, and his externalized principles of dedication and diligence to duty, promising to bring the attributes to bear in his governance if elected.
“I am a destiny child who rose from grass to grace. I will govern with my core value of honesty and integrity, touching on education, health, agriculture and entrepreneurial sector.

Governor David Umahi, while soliciting support for the Party’s Presidential candidate, Ahmed Bola Tinubu, the governorship candidate, Francis Nwifuru, and others, noted that Ebonyi State would be better off with an APC government at all levels.

Umahi maintained that Nwifuru has been tested and trusted over 16 years to diligently continue and consolidate on the achievements made so far in the State.
He assured that Ebonyi State would see better days with Nwifuru, adding that “starting from now to end of my tenure, it will be empowerment every month.”
Others who spoke, including the State Chairman of APC, Stanley Okoro Emegha and the Director General of the Divine Mandate Campaign Organization, Austin Umahi, expressed pride over the achievements of Governor Umahi’s led APC government.
Emegha said the Party was delighted with its choice of governorship candidate as endorsed by the Governor.
“As a party, we are very proud to be part of the transformation going on in the State, and we are happy as a party on the person given to us to succeed the Governor.
“We are very pleased with your choice, and we will continue to work together for the overall good of Ebonyi State.” He added.
