The Ebonyi State Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters, Hon. Uchenna Igwe, has charged town union presidents, management committee members, ward councillors and the newly appointed 1,710 Executive Assistants (EAs) to Governor Francis Nwifuru to work towards ensuring the victory of all candidates of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections.
Igwe gave the charge on Wednesday at his office in Abakaliki, the state capital, during a meeting with the political appointees and community leaders.
He urged them to mobilise eligible voters in their respective wards and communities to vote for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor Francis Nwifuru and other APC candidates in the forthcoming elections.
The commissioner, who cautioned against anti-party activities, also dismissed speculation about a proposed rainbow coalition involving the ruling party, as championed by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, Mr. Nyesom Wike.
He noted that the proposed arrangement, which reportedly involved supporting the President and the state governor while rejecting other candidates nominated by the APC, was inconsistent with the principle of party loyalty.
“You cannot love Mr. President and our governor and dislike the people they have anointed to contest under our party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), in Ebonyi State.
“So, you should work in unity to deliver our candidates in the 2027 elections. Another thing I want to inform you is that the APC has no other group. In fact, there is no rainbow coalition in Ebonyi State,” he stressed.
Igwe urged the appointees and community leaders to take the message of party unity to their respective wards and communities, insisting that the APC must remain united and committed to a common political objective ahead of the 2027 general elections.
