The Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, has publicly endorsed Governor Francis Nwifuru for a second term in office. Speaking on Saturday, Umahi highlighted that the Ebonyi State Governor’s performance and leadership qualities make him the right choice to continue leading the state. According to Umahi, the only place anyone can oppose Governor Nwifuru is on social media, stressing that his achievements in office are visible and deeply rooted in the lives of the people of Ebonyi State. Umahi further noted that Nwifuru has exceeded expectations in governance, ensuring development and stability across the state. The former Governor of Ebonyi and now Minister of Works emphasized that Francis Nwifuru’s leadership represents continuity and progress, and that those planning to challenge him during the next governorship election may only have influence on digital platforms, not among the real electorates on the ground. Umahi’s endorsement of Nwifuru signals a strong political alliance within Ebonyi’s leadership and sends a clear message ahead of the next political season. It also shows that Nwifuru has the backing of key stakeholders who believe in his vision for the state. Observers believe that this public declaration will not only strengthen Governor Nwifuru’s political base but also discourage opposition elements within the state. Political analysts also argue that Umahi’s position as Minister of Works gives his endorsement significant weight in national politics. The Ebonyi political landscape is, therefore, setting the stage for another intense election period, with Nwifuru already enjoying strong endorsements and a reputation for performance-driven governance.
