The candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) vying to represent the people of Ohaukwu South State Constituency at the Ebonyi House of Assembly, Elebe Godfrey (Powerful) has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Elebe made his defection known during the visit of the APC Candidate, R.t Hon Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru to his father’s palace at Amechi izhiangbo, in Ohaukwu Local Government Area of the State.
He said his defection was born out of the conviction that APC is the winning team in the state, while urging his followers to support the FON movement, as well as all APC Candidates contesting for election in Ohaukwu Local Government Area come 2023.
Reacting, the APC gubernatorial Candidate, Rt Hon Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru (FON), welcomed Elebe into the party and assured him that the APC would continue to deliver dividends of democracy to Ebonyi people, before and after the election.
He called on them to embrace peace by adhering to the charter to equity, fairness, and justice in the State as well as credibility on the candidates they would vote for at the polls to ensure the delivery of good governance.
“This is the time to talk about peace, to work peace for the interest of our dear State.
“I believe in the unity of our dear state, and I believe I can unify our people”. Nwifuru said.
He expressed confidence that Ohaukwu people would vote for him for his emergence as Governor come 2023, which would further strengthen the unity of Ebonyi State.
