The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ebonyi State is celebrating a significant win at the Supreme Court, affirming Governor Francis Nwifuru’s mandate after the March 18, 2023, governorship election. Stanley Okoro-Emegha, the state chairman of APC, expressed his satisfaction, hailing the court’s decision as a validation of the electorate’s choice.
In a conversation with reporters in Abakaliki, Okoro-Emegha lauded the Supreme Court’s ruling and urged opposition parties to rally behind the governor for the progress of the state. “The judgement has brought to a definite end the election litigation, and the governor can settle down for the business of governance,” he stated, emphasizing the need for unity in propelling the state toward development.
“We never lost any sleep on the outcome of the Supreme Court case because we had a good case and had earlier won at the tribunal and Appeal Court,” Okoro-Emegha added, underscoring the party’s confidence in the validity of the election.
Highlighting the significance of the victory, he remarked, “The judgement shows that the judiciary remains the last hope of the ‘common man’ and it just confirmed the decision of the Ebonyi voters in 2023.” Okoro-Emegha also praised Governor Nwifuru’s track record of public service, expressing optimism about the continuity of his developmental efforts.
The APC’s call for unity and collaboration to advance the state’s interests reflects a pivotal moment in Ebonyi’s political landscape. As the governor prepares to lead the state, all eyes are on the potential for collective progress and inclusive governance.
