THE Minister of Works, Sen David Umahi has called on the people of Ebonyi South Senatorial District to work concertedly to deliver the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the Ebonyi South Senatorial bye-election slated for February 3, 2024.
The minister gave the charge during a rap up meeting of Ebonyi South APC’s stakeholders held at his residence in Abakaliki on January 26, 2024, in preparation for the Senatorial bye-election.
He expressed satisfaction with the popularity of the candidacy of Prof Okorie Anthony Ani and urged the stakeholders to redouble their efforts to ensure that overwhelming votes are delivered to the candidate of the APC.
He recounted the numerous opportunities and democracy dividends due to benefit by Ebonyi State and indeed the South East from the commendable development masterplan of the Renewed Hope Administration of the President of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu. H
He also commended the Governor of Ebonyi State, Francis Nwifuru for the unity of the party and for hitting the ground running with life changing programmes and called for unflinching support to the APC administration at all levels.
“The President has given the South East a voice. He has fully integrated South East. It’s time to reciprocate by making our party number one. What is the Senator going to do for us compared to what Mr. President has done for us? So it’s not about the election of the Senator. It’s about returning gratitude to Mr. President, to the Governor and to the party. That is it.”
“And I want to thank all the people from Ebonyi South and of course, the entire State for their loyalty to the governor and for working with him. He is the leader of the party in the state. He is the leader of government. And we must have to honor him,” the statement by Orji Uchenna Orji, Special Adviser (Media) to the minister of works, quoted the minister as saying.
In his remarks during the event, the Chairman of the APC in the state, Stanley Okoro Emegha, thanked the minister of works for his kind disposition to the affairs of the party and for making the state proud as Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
He assured the minister that the party would cruise to victory in the 3rd February 2024 bye- election.
