According to him, Governor Nwifuru has carried evident developmental programs which transcended human capacity building, peacebuilding, civil service reform; health and education revival, among others.
Iziogo further described Nwifuru's victory during the 2023 general election as a tremendous breakthrough for Ebonyi State, particularly the Izhi Nation.
