Ebonyi Market Women Rallies Support For Gov. Nwifuru's Re-election

In a formidable show of political force, the Ebonyi market women, operating under the aegis of the Ebonyi State Market Women Association and led by their indefatigable President, Hon. Mrs. Patience Nwali — who also serves as Chairman, Lot 2, International Market, Abakaliki — have unequivocally thrown their weight behind Rt. Hon. Builder Prince Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru, FNIOB, FCAI, GGCEHF, Executive Governor of Ebonyi State, endorsing him for a second term in office.

The thunderous endorsement, which sent ripples through the commercial nerve centre of the Salt of the Nation, stands as an eloquent testament to the Governor’s sterling stewardship and his administration’s people-centric governance. The women, widely regarded as the lifeblood of commerce and the engine room of the state’s economy, averred that Governor Nwifuru possesses the requisite grace, grit, and gravitas to continue steering the ship of state through uncharted waters.

In a display of unshakable solidarity, the market women rent the air with the now-iconic political refrain: _“4 4 = 8, and 8 4 for Abaja”_ — a clarion call to reward exemplary leadership with continuity, and to ensure that the dividends of democracy cascade to the last man at the grassroots.

The epoch-making declaration was witnessed by the Governor’s representatives, led by The Principal Secretary, Chief Mathias Adum, in the company of Chief Uche Frank Nwamkpuma. They conveyed the Governor’s profound appreciation to the women, reiterating his unflinching resolve to leave no stone unturned in his avowed mission to reposition Ebonyi State on the pedestal of sustainable development.
