The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress APC in Ebonyi State, Chief Stanley Okoro Emegha, has cautioned the people of Ivo against what he described as “politics of gambling,” urging them to protect the principles of zoning, equity and political rotation which, according to him, have contributed to stability in Ebonyi.
Emegha stated this on Thursday, at Isiaka, Ivo Local Government headquarters during a chairmanship campaign rally ahead of the August 22nd Local Government election in Ebonyi State.
He described those trying to distort the zoning arrangement in the State as thieves and enemies of the people, urging the people to resist and reject such people.
Emegha noted that power rotation in the State has brought peace, equity and even-development in the State.
Emegha said the Nwifuru administration had recorded significant interventions across sectors under its People’s Charter of Needs agenda, particularly in peacebuilding, infrastructure, education and human capital development.
He urged voters to support APC candidates in the August 22 local government elections, saying the party remained committed to grassroots development.
Presenting the APC flag to the party’s chairmanship candidate for Ivo LGA, Governor Nwifuru, represented by his Deputy, Princess Patricia Onyemaechi Obila, said the people of Ivo had made the right choice by selecting the party’s candidates for the election.
The deputy governor urged the electorate to remain united and support candidates capable of consolidating the administration’s development agenda at the grassroots.
Other stakeholders, including Ebonyi State lawmaker Chief Onyebuchi Ogbadu, Commissioner for Solid Minerals and Development Chief Chinedu Nkah, former Ivo LGA chairman Chief James Aro Nweke, former commissioner for Information and State Orientation Barrister Uchenna Orji, President of Ishiagu Community Development Union Chief Moses Ajah, and other community leaders, reportedly expressed support for the APC and commended the Nwifuru administration’s emphasis on peace, unity and development.
The stakeholders maintained that political stability remained critical to attracting investment, executing infrastructure projects and improving the welfare of citizens, urging the people to reject actions capable of plunging the state into avoidable political crisis.
The rally attracted a large crowd comprising politicians, traditional rulers, religious leaders, academics, business operators, youths, students and market women, who expressed support for the APC and applauded the administration’s peace and development initiatives.
The event also served as a major political mobilisation ahead of the August 22 local government elections, with party leaders urging supporters to translate their enthusiasm into electoral participation.
The stakeholders further argued that the preservation of peace and political cohesion in Ebonyi would remain central to the state’s development trajectory as preparations gradually intensify for the 2027 general elections.
