Ayim, PDP, LP leaders back Ebonyi APC gov candidate

Former Senate President Senator Pius Anyim has endorsed the Ebonyi State governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru, as his preferred candidate for Saturday’s governorship election.

Anyim, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), spoke in his country home, Amagu Ishiagu in Ivo Local Government Area, at a town hall meeting organised by Governor David Umahi.

Anyim, who was also former secretary to the government of the federation, said he believes in equity, fairness, justice and zoning.

He said, based on the zoning arrangement in the state, it was the turn of Ebonyi North senatorial zone to produce the governor.
Anyim attended the media interaction with the PDP House of Representatives candidate for Ohaozara/Onicha/Ivo federal constituency, Hon Livinus Makwe, and the deputy governorship candidate of the Labour Party, Chief Ajah Nwabueze.

He said, “I believe in zoning, I believe in power rotation. It is the turn of Ebonyi North and it is the candidate of APC.”

It would be recalled that the Ebonyi State commissioner for information and state orientation, Uchenna Orji, had few days ago in a press conference commended the former senate president and other leaders of the PDP and Labour Party for supporting the zoning formula of the state and the governorship candidate of the APC, Nwifuru.
Addressing the people of Ishiagu, Ebonyi State governor, David Umahi, urged them to join the former secretary to the government of the federation in supporting the candidate of the APC.
Umahi said that with the support of Senator Anyim and other leaders of the opposition parties, the APC was sure of victory.
