A Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Stakeholder in Ebonyi State and
Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Izzi Nnodo Youth Forum, Prince Maurice Nnanna Mbam, Monday argued that his Party, the PDP did not win the last 2023 Governorship election in the State.
The PDP Chieftain who emphasized that he was ready to appear before the tribunal sitting in Abuja to buttress his point, added that Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru of Ebonyi State remains the winner of the election.
Briefing Newsmen in Abakaliki, Mbam called on opposition political parties to allow the Governor of the State to do his work and stop peddling campaigns of calumny against him (Nwifuru).
“New appointments have been made by the Governor and the State has moved on. The opposition should allow the Governor do his job. As a Speaker for 8 years, he has understood the workings and problems of the State.
“The Governor remains the first to appoint the first female SSG of the State. The appointment of 35 Commissioners was balanced as all the 13 Local Government Areas were represented in the cabinet of the Governor. Governance is not a day’s job. Everybody will not be Commissioner. He has started well.
“We should give this young man the chance, to show us the capacity he has. He has taken various proactive measures. One of which was the release of the wife of the INEC Staff that was kidnapped by hoodlums two weeks ago.
“I want to call on the sons and daughters of Izzi land to rally round him. What we owe him is to give him maximum support. The Governor has a listening hear. It’s not a rumour that am going to be part of the APC family soon. We are ready to testify that PDP lost the election. We know that the matter is before the tribunal.” Ends
