2027: I have no Rift with Umahi – Gov Nwifuru
Gov. Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi has declared that he has no rift with the Minister of Works, Sen. David Umahi, describing such as mere speculation.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the governor engineered a consensus arrangement for aspirants into various political offices in the state.
Speculations, however, became rife across the state that Umahi was not favoured in the process, as most of his favoured aspirants were dropped.
Nwifuru, in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary (CPS), Monday Uzor, on Sunday, said he had no rift with his predecessor and Works Minister, Umahi, as speculated.
“This speculation in some sections of the media is from those fanning the embers of discord. “We are working together for the progress of the party in the state,” the statement read.
The governor said that all outstanding issues regarding consensus candidacy would be amicably resolved. “I will meet all the aspirants, and they will be treated equally as agreed by the stakeholders.
“I enjoin all stakeholders, aspirants and party faithful to work together and make sacrifices where needed in the interest of the party,” the statement read.
He thanked all stakeholders and party faithful who made contributions and sacrifices, noting that the party remained one indivisible entity. #2027: I have no Rift with Umahi – Gov Nwifuru#
