Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru, has urged aspirants for various positions in next year’s general election to desist from making comments that can overheat the polity.

He gave the warning over the weekend during the solemnisation of holy matrimony between his younger brother, Paulinus Nwifuru, and heartthrob, Immaculata, at the Government House Chapel, Abakaliki, assuring that he would not impose any candidate on the people.

“I have not made up my mind to support anybody except President Bola Tinubu who has demonstrated love and support to us as a state as well as Goodluck Obinna Mbam of the State House of Assembly whom the constituents have equally endorsed.

“You can only be there when God says so. Let us be calm, let us be humble,” he advised.

The Governor added that he would meet with stakeholders to discuss how to achieve a seamless electoral process. “We will start zonal meetings on Wednesday,” it will run “Thursday and Friday when I might have finished meeting with the leaders of the state.

“We will discuss the Senate, House of Representatives, State House of Assembly and Governorship.

“We will not discuss the President’s position, because that one is a no-go area. We have only one Presidential candidate, which is President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“He is the only president who has started a project here and will commission it. We are giving him our votes a hundred percent,” he stated. (The Sun)
