IF Ebonyi state was perceived in recent past to be on the path of sustainable growth and development, all of that tanked with the emergence of incumbent governor David Nweze Umahi three years ago. The peace loving people of Ebonyi have thus been forced to endure Umahi’s style of governance that has set backwards the development clock of the state. It is therefore not surprising that from Abakiliki the state capital and literally across the 13 local government areas of the state, the general consensus is one of change; a change in face of governance in the state that has enslaved the people like the biblical Israelites in their years of torment in Pharoah’s Egypt. Like the biblical voice crying out in the wilderness however, it appears with the emergence of Senator Sonni Ogbuoji, as the flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress,  APC,  in the forthcoming gubernatorial election in the state, the cries of the people have reached the stable of God, hence an honest man with unquestionable integrity, Sonni Ogbuoji has come to the rescue.

A member of Millennium Club for Transparent and Accountable Government, Chief Ighofose Okijirhie has faulted   Ijaw National Leader and elder statesman, Chief Edwin Clark, on his statement that Chief Great Ogboru, All Progressives Congress, APC, candidate will lose to Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, flag-bearer in the coming election.

Campaign strategist and ally of former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, Mr. Phrank Shaibu has described the All Progressives Congress (APC) as one of the biggest disasters to have ever befallen Nigeria, saying President Muhammadu Buhari’s three and a half years in office is a sad reminder of Nigeria’s arrested development since 2015 “when the clueless party came to power.”

Similar to 2015 campaign period, the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, had been in locked horns since the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Sunday, permitted all Presidential Candidates to commence with their various campaigns.

Five members of the All Progressives  Congress (APC) were confirmed dead in a ghastly motor accident a few meters to Oke-Onigbin, a Kwara suburb, on the  Omu-Aran-Ilorin highway on Sunday.
