The House of Representatives Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief Emmanuel Uguru has alleged that unscrupulous elements were behind the alleged threat against non-indigenes losing their property if an Izhi man becomes the governor of Ebonyi State in 2023.
Uguru spoke in Abakaliki at a media parley organized by the Correspondent Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists in the state.
The Candidate for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abakaliki/ Izzi Federal Constituency of Ebonyi State, Chief Uguru, also alleged that unpopular politicians are preaching kindred dichotomy in the Izzi clan to curry sympathy.
Uguru described as imaginary the belief that the people of Izzi were divided along kindred and political lines and that it will affect the chances of Izzi producing the next governor of the state in 2023.
Uguru declared that the 2023 general election is the first election the people of the Izzi clan will vote for one way.
“This is the first election an Izzi man will go almost 90 per cent one way. It is an imaginary issue, 100 per cent imaginary.
"The moment you are unpopular, you bring out the issue of kindred dichotomy and you begin to pretend that you are looking for your people.
"In the National Assembly, the two kindreds in Izzi are there," Uguru said.
