Ebonyi governor, David Umahi has urged the governor-elect, Francis Nwifuru, to consider for appointment into his team, younger generations to contribute their knowledge to governance.
Umahi also made a case for the increased number of women appointees in the coming administration, up to 50 per cent.
He gave the charge on Tuesday while receiving the Ebonyi Governor-elect, Right Hon. Francis Nwifuru, in his office in Abakaliki.
Nwifuru was in the Governor’s office to present to the Governor his INEC Certificate of Return and appreciate the Governor for his support which gave him and the All Progressives Congress victory at the recently concluded governorship polls.
Umahi then dedicates the victory of the All Progressives Congress in the State and across the country to God.
He further maintained that those seeking to upturn the victories at the tribunal were simply wasting their time and resources, adding that the Party merited all it got at the polls.
Turning to the Governor-Elect, Governor Umahi praised the qualities and character of Nwifuru, stressing that his election was built upon the platform of equity, peace and love in Ebonyi State and nurtured by all men of goodwill.
He maintained that should the election be held again, the APC will still carry the day.
“When people say they are going to Court or going to tribunal, I will just laugh.
“The PDP got the little number they got in our State because the election became local in the sense that they had House of Assembly members from the various localities that were making efforts to also win.
“That’s why they got eighty thousand, against our One hundred and ninety-nine thousand votes; a clear difference of almost One hundred and twenty thousand.”
Presenting the Certificate of Return to the Governor, Nwifuru described the Governor as “the man that made all that happened to happen,”
He appreciated the Governor for standing strong for equity and justice in the State.
Nwifuru added: “Your Excellency, I am here this afternoon to present to you the Certificate of Return issued to me by the Independent National Electoral Commission on that fateful day made by the Lord, the 29th day of March 2023, while you were away.”
