Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru, has declared that aspirants with no visible achievements in their constituencies should not bother seeking re-election as the All Progressives Congress (APC) will not repeat its 2023 mistakes in 2027.
PrimeTimes Nigeria reports that Nwifuru made the declaration during the commissioning of roads, classroom blocks, street lights, among other projects on Wednesday by the Deputy Chief Whip of the Senate and Senator representing Ebonyi North Senatorial district, Peter Onyekachi Nwebonyi.
Represented by the state party chairman, Stanley Okoro Emegha, Governor Nwifuru said only aspirants with undeniable achievements in their current or previous positions will be supported to fly the APC ticket in the 2027 elections.
He said, “The time for stock-taking has come, and only those with results and visible achievements will be considered again to fly our party’s tickets for the next general elections.
“Those who have nothing to show for their years of representation will have themselves to blame as the party will not like to repeat it’s mistakes in 2027.”
In his remarks at one of the project sites, Nwebonyi said he was motivated by the need to complement Governor Nwifuru’s developmental efforts in his Senatorial district.
He said, “Your Excellency, our Governor and our leader, I was motivated to embark on this projects outside my core legislative duties of lawmaking and oversight functions, to complement your efforts in our senatorial district.”
