Ahead of the 2024 Local Government Election in Ebonyi State, Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru has assured that imposition of Candidates will be vehemently resisted.

The Governor who stated this during a Church service at the Government House Chapel, promised that a level playing ground will be provided for all the aspirants.

According to the Governor, stakeholders and people at the grassroots will participate in choosing credible candidates that will represent them.

" I am delighted with the way and manner the Council Chairmen have handled the issue of security and the way they have interacted with the people at the grassroot. But like I told them last night, those who are seeking re-election should strive to earn the trust and support of the stakeholders and the people . "

"Our Party is a large one , therefore will do everything possible to resist imposition of Candidates. As a Governor, I will not have much to say on who becomes the next local Government Chairman." The Governor Said.

He used the occasion to caution government officials to avoid resentment capable of tarnishing the image of the Government. " I want to also use this opportunity to appeal to Ebonyians to tolerate their shortcomings. They are less than one year in office, therefore they are still in learning process "
