Ebonyi governor seeks forgiveness, appeals for APC votes in 2027

Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru, has appealed to residents of the state to overlook any shortcomings of his administration and those of elected lawmakers, while urging them to vote for the All Progressives Congress in the 2027 general elections.

The governor made the appeal on Sunday during a democracy Thanksgiving Service held at the Government House Chapel in Abakaliki to mark the third anniversary of his administration.

Speaking before an audience of worshippers, government officials, political stakeholders, and religious leaders, Nwifuru admitted that mistakes may have been made by his government, members of the National Assembly, and the Ebonyi State House of Assembly while serving the people.

Despite acknowledged challenges, he called on the people of the state to continue supporting their elected representatives.

“Please forgive us; forgive me, the National Assembly members and the House of Assembly members. Forgive our shortcomings and vote for us again,” the governor pleaded.

Reflecting on his three years in office, Nwifuru expressed gratitude to God for what he described as the achievements of his administration. He noted that governance is a learning process that demands humility, dedication, and the understanding of the people.

He conceded that no government can claim to be flawless but assured residents that his administration remains focused on improving service delivery, expanding infrastructure, and ensuring that democracy’s benefits reach more communities across the state.

The governor also reaffirmed his commitment to sustaining ongoing development programmes and policies aimed at enhancing the welfare and living standards of Ebonyi residents.
