The ruling All progressives Congress (APC) in Ebonyi State has said that coalition by major opposition forces in the country is not a threat to the party in the State.
APC insisted that Governor Francis Nwifuru has collapsed opposition structures existing in the state through his achievements and inclusive governance.
The party stated that the people have nothing against him to think of joining any opposition force ahead 2027, saying, “It’s an act of God that we have this Governor at this moment of our history. He is someone that has a listening ears.His government is all inclusive. And the people are happy with him. So, the people have nothing against him as to think of joining any coalition”.
The position of the APC was conveyed by Chief Stanley Okoro-Emegha, Chairman of the party in the state while addressing Journalists at the Weekend in reaction to the unveiling of the Africa Democratic Party (ADC) recently by the opposition coalition in Abuja.
Speaking further,“In Ebonyi, we are fully prepared. Even if the coalition is having effect in any other place, it can’t succeed in this state, because the governor, is doing marvelously well and the masses are with him because of that.”
He revealed that the remaining opposition figures in the state including a serving Federal Lawmaker are on their way to the ruling APC in a matter of weeks.
“We are still committed to collapsing opposition structures in the state. I have been in touch with the remaining few members of the opposition and in weeks to come, a House of Representatives Member will officially defect to our party.”
Emegha also charged members of APC and its supporters in the State not to entertain panic about any coalition as it’s not going to have any effect on the state’s current political statusquo.
“We are not panicking about any coalition and we also urge our supporters not to panic, because the masses are with us. We are strongly rooted, courtesy of the good governance we are enjoying under the present Governor. Those forming coalition are working in vain as they lack the capacity to unseat APC come 2027.
“Any man that has good ideas can’t be jumping from one party to another every year in the name of opposition or coalition. When it is not them, they seek coalition. It must not be you all the time”, he stated.
