In a heartfelt address, Governor Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi State took a moment to reach out to the citizens of his state, urging them to look beyond the challenges and shortcomings experienced during his administration and the tenure of their elected lawmakers. He passionately requested that the people rally behind the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the party gears up for the 2027 general elections, emphasizing the importance of unity and continued support for a brighter future.
The governor’s appeal unfolded on a significant occasion—during a Democracy Thanksgiving Service held at the Government House Chapel in Abakaliki, marking the three-year milestone of his leadership. This gathering brought together a diverse group of attendees, including worshippers, government officials, political stakeholders, and religious leaders, all reflecting on the journey of democracy in the state.
In his address, Nwifuru acknowledged the imperfections inherent in any administration. He candidly admitted that mistakes have been made along the way, not only by himself but also by fellow members of the National Assembly and those serving in the Ebonyi State House of Assembly. His recognition of these missteps was a call for humility, as he encouraged a spirit of forgiveness from the citizens he vowed to serve.
“Please forgive us,” he implored. “Forgive me, forgive the National Assembly members, and forgive the members of the House of Assembly. We acknowledge our shortcomings and ask for your trust once more as we work to improve our great state.”
Reflecting on the past three years, Governor Nwifuru expressed deep gratitude for the progress made during his administration. He emphasized that governance is an evolving journey—one that demands a blend of humility, unwavering dedication, and a profound understanding of the needs of the people. He reiterated that while no government can claim to be without faults, the commitment to continuous improvement is paramount.
The governor reassured residents that his administration remains steadfast in its mission to enhance service delivery, bolster infrastructure development, and ensure that the dividends of democracy extend to every corner of Ebonyi State. As he concluded his heartfelt appeal, he painted a hopeful vision for the future, encouraging everyone to come together as one united front in the pursuit of progress and shared success.
Together, with renewed support for the APC and a commitment to understanding and forgiveness, he believes that a brighter future is not just a hope—it can be a reality for all in Ebonyi State.
