"People play politics with everything, and I want to say, he couldn't have meant otherwise because he is a seasoned politician.
"You cannot play with Ezza Nation in the political equation of Ebonyi State, you cannot play with them but our joy, unspeakable joy is that this so-called opposition, they are only on Facebook...."
The APC Stalwart assured Ebonyi people that the APC and the governorship candidate have articulated their budding needs to address them headlong on the assumption of office in May.
He said the APC would not bulge to the distractions of the opposition political parties in the state to take to violence in the electioneering processes.
