The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ebonyi State has expressed confidence in the Nigerian judiciary following the Supreme Court verdict, which upheld the election of Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru on Friday in Abuja.
The state chairman of the party, Chief Stanley Okoro Emegah said the apex court verdict has shown that the country is on the path of true democracy, where the voice of the masses matters in the affairs of the country’s leadership.
Speaking with journalists in Abakaliki, the state capital, amidst jubilations, he described the victory as a stepping stone for the governor to continue with his people’s charter of needs agenda towards the delivery of good governance.
“This is to assure Nigerians that we will still get the country on the right side; this has shown that the judiciary is truly the last hope of the common man.
“Ebonyi case is one of the proofs that there’s absolutely nothing you can do so that the voice of the masses will not be heard; Nigeria, under the leadership of Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu, will still get it right.” Emegah said.
He said, having served in the state in different capacities and being aware of the immediate needs of the masses, the governor will now concentrate on his policies, which revolve around improving the lives of the masses, which he swore to serve and protect.
“The masses are already happy with what the governor is doing at the moment, and I believe this victory will give him the space to continue with his good projects for the people. He has said that he will ensure human empowerment, health, and the education sector are developed, as well as every other area of human endeavor.”.
The party chairman called on the opposition to join hands with the current administration to build a better state for all in the interest of peace and progress.
Lending his voice, Hon. Chidiebere Uzor Agwu, who is the Onicha local government council chairman in the state, congratulated the governor and maintained that his victory at the Supreme Court is for the entire people of the state as well as a victory for democracy.
