Former governor of Ebonyi State and Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi has endorsed Governor Francis Nwifuru for second term in office come 2027
Umahi stated this on Friday when he received members of Izzi National Youth Forum who paid him a Christmas homage at his Umunagu Uburu country home in Ohaozara local government area of the state.
He commended the Izzi youths led by their National President, Barrister Andrew Chibueze Elom for paying him such a surprise visit during the yuletide.
He maintained that Governor Nwifuru would serve Ebonyi people for the second term in office like him and other former executive governors of the state.
“Thank you for this surprise visit, and sincerely, no doubt I expected this visit but not in this magnitude.
“Not to talk about the fact that you left your son (Governor Francis Nwifuru) to pay me a visit today that you should be at his house celebrating with him.
“Even if God forbid, your brothers or Izzi people stand against me tomorrow, the covenant I had with him (Governor Nwifuru) and God is complete uninterrupted 8 years and nothing would stop this.
“Relax, I fought principalities and powers alone and won; and you think I can’t do it now that I have someone by my side.
“I have been saying it and will keep saying it, I have not seen any better option in Izzi till now. Sorry to say this He (Governor Nwifuru) is humble and till the end of 8 years, I am not leaving him. Not now,” Umahi said.
