APC Expresses Confidence In Winning

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ebonyi State has expressed confidence in winning the chairmanship positions in the 13 local government councils and all the 171 councillorship seats in the August 22 local government elections.

The party made the assertion during its local government election campaign flag-off in Onueke, Ezza South Local Government Area of the state.

Governor Francis Nwifuru, represented by the Deputy Governor, Mrs. Patricia Obila, hailed the commencement of the campaign and urged the electorate to vote for APC candidates.

Governor Nwifuru also presented the party’s flag to the APC chairmanship candidate for Ezza South Local Government Area, Mr. Chinedu Mkpuma.

The governor called for peaceful campaigns, massive grassroots mobilisation and increased collection of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to secure victory across the state’s 13 local government areas and 171 wards.

“I know we are ready to win at all levels because Ebonyi is APC. We must embark on issue-based campaigns and avoid actions capable of undermining the peaceful conduct of the election,” he said.
