The Chairman of the All Progressive Congress APC,in Ebonyi State, Chief Stanley Okoro Emegha has said that the party cannot give it's ticket to unpopular candidate in the 2027 General election as the party cannot win election with unpopular candidate.
Chief Stanley Emegha made the disclosure while interacting with Journalists at the Weekend.
He maintained that the Governor is the leader of the party in the state and he knows who fits well for any position adding that he knows the popular candidates that will win election for the party and that will always act for the interest of the masses.
“Our party will produce the candidates that will win election and serve the people well. You can’t take an unpopular candidate to election and expect to win. Everything will also be done in line with the party’s rules”.
“The coalition by major opposition forces in the country is not a threat to the party in the State. Governor Francis Nwifuru has collapsed opposition structures hitherto existing in the state through his sterling achievements and inclusive governance.
“The people have nothing against him to think of joining any opposition force ahead of 2027. It’s an act of God that we have this Governor at this moment of our history.
“He is someone that has a listening ears. His government is all inclusive. And the people are happy with him. So, the people have nothing against him as to think of joining any coalition”.
“In Ebonyi, we are fully prepared. Even if the coalition is having effect in any other place, it can’t succeed in this state, because the governor, is doing marvelously well and the masses are with him because of that.”
He further revealed that the remaining opposition figures in the state including a serving Federal Lawmaker are on their way to the ruling APC in a matter of weeks.
“We are still committed to collapsing opposition structures in the state. I have been in touch with the remaining few members of the opposition and in weeks to come, a House of Representatives Member will officially defect to our party.”
Emegha urged members of APC and its supporters in the State not to entertain panic about any coalition as it’s not going to have any effect on the state’s current political statusquo.
“We are not panicking about any coalition and we also urge our supporters not to panic, because the masses are with us. We are strongly rooted, courtesy of the good governance we are enjoying under the present Governor.
“Those forming coalition are working in vain as they lack the capacity to unseat APC come 2027. Any man that has good ideas can’t be jumping from one party to another every election season in the name of opposition or coalition. When it is not them, they seek coalition. It must not be you all the time”, he stated. Ends.
