In the famous words of Abraham Lincoln, “No man is good enough to govern another man without the other’s consent.” These words perfectly capture the relationship between Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru and the people of Ebonyi State. His leadership has earned not just political support, but deep admiration and affection from the citizens. To many Ebonyians, he is not just a governor, but a leader, a father, and a symbol of hope.
From the beginning of his political journey, Governor Nwifuru made a strong promise to serve his people with sincerity and purpose. He promised not just to lead, but to understand and to truly listen to the pains, needs, and desires of the ordinary citizens. At a time, some were skeptical. They thought his words were the usual empty campaign talk. But time has proven them wrong. Every word he spoke during his campaign has been backed by visible action, and the people of Ebonyi State are witnessing genuine transformation under his watch.
Governor Nwifuru has emerged as a man of integrity and action. A very tall and intelligent man, full of energy, and driven by a strong desire to lift Ebonyi State out of poverty and social neglect. He governs with passion, compassion, and a sense of purpose rarely seen in today’s politics. Through policies that touch real lives, he has gained the trust of even those who once stood on the other side of the political divide.
One of the most remarkable aspects of his leadership is his open door policy. He leads with humility and welcomes all, regardless of party affiliation. This has made the All Progressives Congress (APC) a political home for everyone in the State. Unlike in the past, where defectors may have been lured or pressured, those who have joined APC in Ebonyi did so out of genuine conviction. They saw something different, a young leader who treats everyone as one family, who listens, and who delivers.
As a result, Ebonyi has experienced what many now call a political tsunami, a wave of defections from every corner of the state into the APC. Politicians and supporters from all other parties have embraced the APC, not out of fear, but because of the leadership they see and believe in. The APC has become more than just a political party in Ebonyi; it has become a movement, a family, and a symbol of progress.
Under the capable leadership of Chief Stanley Okoro Emegha, the All Progressives Congress in Ebonyi has continued to shine both at the state and national levels. His hard work and dedication has earned him recognition beyond the borders of Ebonyi, including his appointment as the National Deputy Chairman of the Forum of APC State Chairmen and most recently is his well deserved appointment as Chairman, Governing Board, National Animal Product Research Institute, Zaria by His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President, Federal Republic of Nigeria 🇳🇬, and his endorsement for a second term by Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru only confirms the confidence the party and its members have in his leadership.
Today, in Ebonyi State, APC stands very tall and alone. Other political parties seem to have vanished into thin air not because they were pushed out, but because they could not match the energy, unity, and progress that APC has brought to the state.
So, dear Nigerians, don’t be surprised if by the next general election, only APC appears on the political stage in Ebonyi. The people have made their choice, and their choice is clear. They have chosen progress. They have chosen peace. They have chosen Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru and the APC.
And in Ebonyi, that choice has become the only voice that truly matters.
