On Tuesday, Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifuru appealed to the former gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Obinna Ogba, to join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The governor revealed this while addressing stakeholders of the State during the commissioning of Legacy FM and Television, built by the former senator, Ogba, who represented Ebonyi Central senatorial zone in the 8th and 9th National Assembly.
According to Nwifuru: “You should announce to us here that you are joining our Party, APC, to confirm what we have been seeing on the social media, but I don’t want what surprised you to surprise me too.
Nwifuru also wooed the former deputy speaker of the State House of Assembly, Obasi Odefa, and some other members- Oliver Osi and Ali Okechukwu to join the APC.
“When you see a good product, go for it. Ogba is a good product for APC, and as a leader of the Party, APC, I go for it. Whoever is close to Ogba that will advise him (Ogba) not to join us should have a rethink,” he stated.
Nwifuru further commended Senator Ogba for the massive support and contributions given to him in his bid to become the state governor during the 2023 general election.
