Ebonyi: Ezza elite group targets 2031, backs PDP guber candidate for 2027

A newly-formed elites group, Royal Front of Ezza Ezekuna, otherwise known as Ezza Frontliners has beckoned on the people of Ezza Ezekuna worldwide to throw their massive weight behind the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2027 Governorship election in Ebonyi State, Dr. Ifeanyi Chukwuma Odii, insisting that he has all the credible qualities for a transformative governance that can impact real lives, all sectors and every section of the State.

In a statement state released Tuesday in Abuja, signed by the convertor of the group, Ambassador Paschal Oluchukwu, said the inaugural meeting which held in Enugu State capital brought together prominent sons and daughters, rallied the people of Ezza Ezekuna worldwide to be wise in their choice by supporting a candidate whose track records of achievements and impacts in the private sector have distinguished him.

“And that candidate is no other than Dr. Ifeanyi Chukwuma Odii of the People’s Democratic Party because governance is not trial by error. You must have been tested with individual accomplishments before being entrusted with a public office. Across the length and breadth of the Ebonyi State, he has built several houses for widows he does not even know, offered scholarship opportunities to many and empowered thousands of youths to start up businesses among many others”, Oluchukwu disclosed.

Also speaking according to the statement, an elderstatesman and Chieftain of the PDP, Chief Christopher Ngwuta urged the people of Ezza Ezekuna never to be deceived by the promises of certain individuals that they will be given power in 2031.

“They cannot make that promise public because they don’t want our people to hold them to account. They know that they are deceiving our people but we have to be wise and support Anyichuks because only him has the capacity to give an Ezza man power”, he insisted.

He said the people of Ezza nation can no longer support blindly as it has made the opportunity to govern Ebonyi elude them since the creation of the State despite having the largest population in the State.

Another PDP stakeholder and a former member of Ebonyi State House of Assembly, Hon. Ikechukwu Nwobo alleged that the level of decay and misgovernance in Ebonyi has gotten so high that people should no longer be concerned about zoning that had never existed in the first place but channel its efforts in rescuing the State from bad governance from the current occupants of power in the State.

“Ebonyi people cannot survive another wasted 4 years if things continue the way they currently are in the State”, he cautioned.

The leaders promised to recruit more members who would drum support and canvass for votes across the length and breadth of wherever Ezza-Ezekuna people dwell to ensure the victory of Odii in the 2027 Gubernatorial election.
