 Ebonyi APC Denies Claims of Governor Nwifuru Relinquishing Power in 2027



The Ebonyi State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has firmly dismissed rumors suggesting that Governor Francis Nwifuru agreed to step down after a single four-year term in 2027.


In a statement released on Sunday, APC State Publicity Secretary Ogbuatu Chidi Simbad described the claims as "false and misleading." He emphasized that no such agreement was ever made, stating, "Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru is not leaving after four years. There was no agreement to the contrary, and any such claim is baseless."


Ogbuatu pointed out that no governor in Ebonyi State’s history has served only one term, reinforcing the party’s stance on continuity. He accused certain individuals of attempting to sow confusion among the public, saying, "A few who once stood on the sidelines are now trying to distract and mislead Ebonyians, but their imagination only reveals their own motives."


The APC reiterated its resilience against intimidation, with Ogbuatu noting that the party’s strength stems from "unity, humility, peace, and good governance." He praised the Nwifuru administration’s commitment to fulfilling its promises, which he said has earned widespread trust and support from the people.


The statement also lauded Governor Nwifuru’s leadership, describing Ebonyi as "on the right path to greatness" under his governance. Ogbuatu highlighted the administration’s focus on sustainable economic and infrastructural development, adding, "Governance is a continuum, and this government is committed to progressive policies for lasting growth."


Additionally, the APC disclosed that its state chairman, Chief Stanley Okoro-Emegha, has been engaging aggrieved members across the state’s 13 local government areas and 171 wards, promoting reconciliation and inclusivity to strengthen party unity.


The party called on Ebonyians to disregard the rumors and remain supportive of the Nwifuru-led administration’s vision for a stronger state.
