A public affairs analyst, Pascal Oluchukwu, has countered Ebonyi Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Oguzor Nwali, who said that the state governor, Francis Nwifuru, deserves re-election ahead of the 2027 general election.
Oluchukwu explained that the governor had not done enough for the state to warrant a second term.
He disclosed this in a statement on Thursday.
Nwali had highlighted projects carried out by Nwifuru’s administration as a reason for Ebonyi people to vote for his second-term bid.
However, Oluchukwu faulted Nwali and challenged him to reel out detailed projects done by the Nwifuru government.
According to him, the flyover and tunnel built by the governor have turned into a ‘large swimming pool.’
He said the APC signposts are the only visible projects in the state.
He further noted that the state under Nwifuru is filled with a litany of uncompleted and abandoned projects despite increased allocation from the federation account in the last three years.
“From the Vanco flyover and tunnel that has since turned into a large swimming pool in this rainy season to the ICT University in Oferekpe Agbaja that has only partially completed staff quarters and then to the litany of uncompleted modern civil servant staff quarters and schools littered across the state, the story is the same: Nwifuru, who now receives more allocations, has done absolutely nothing to justify the huge billions of money he gets from the center.
“Worse still, he and his large coterie of looting appointees feel greatly entitled to a second term in office without any records of achievements in the first. As a matter of fact and concern, APC’s 4+4=8 signpost projects have become the only visible sign that there’s a government in Ebonyi State,” he stated.
