A coalition of twenty – two political parties have endorsed the Gubernatorial Candidate of Labour Party LP, Arc Edward Nkwegu, for the Governorship position in the State, ahead of the Governorship election in March this year 2023.
In a colourful ceremony held at the Grand Arena Event Centre in Abakaliki Ebonyi State Capital, the Coalition for Good Governance described Nkwegu as the most credible of all the Governorship candidates in the State.
The National Leader of the Coalition, Dr Sam Eke, said the Coalition would not support a misfit coming to power.
“We need a competent, qualified and capable person to lead us from corruption to production. We need a person who can create jobs for our teeming and helpless unemployed youths. We need a person who can show evidence of performance in the past.
“We have found such a person in Arc Edward Nkwegu, the LP Governorship Candidate in Ebonyi State”
“He is confident, prudent, competent and sincere and we are sure he is the only person that can transform Ebonyi State for the better,” Eke added.
Eke advised the people to reject monetary inducement to influence their votes otherwise they would be sentencing themselves and their children into perpetual enslavement.
Also addressing the crowd, the Zonal Coordinator of the group, Chief Japheth Anyanwu, described the event as historic as it marked the liberation of the people.
Anyanwu said the Coalition’s main objective is to promote good governance and add value to the lives of the people.
In his response, Arc Edward Nkwegu, said he was overwhelmed by the support given to him by the group.
He said Labour Party was populated by people who have vision and ideas that transcend religious and ethnic boundaries.
“We have audacious and courageous people. We have people who are committed to pulling down the structures of injustice, corruption and unemployment and enthrone good governance,” Nkwegu added.
He expressed appreciation to the people for the endorsement and pledged not to fail Ebonyi State if he becomes Governor.
Highlight of the occasion was the inauguration of Coalition’s Executive Committees members in Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo States.
