From Ogbuatu Chidi Simbad
PRESS RELEASE
The All Progressives Congress (APC), Ebonyi State Chapter, warmly commends His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Ebonyi State, Rt. Hon. Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru, for his sincere and determined efforts to bring lasting peace to Ezza/Effium communities.
Governor Nwifuru has continued to demonstrate true leadership and compassion in tackling the long standing conflict that has affected many lives and properties in the area. His bold actions to restore calmness and unity between this two communities reflect his deep commitment to peace, security of lives and properties.
In the words of Martin Luther King Jr., “Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.” Governor Nwifuru’s approach has been practical, peaceful, and inclusive, showing that he is not just a leader, but a true peacemaker.
In the spirit of understanding and reconciliation, the Governor has gone beyond words. His recent decision to assent to a bill for the proper demarcation of boundaries and the creation of distinct communities for the Ezza and Effium people marks a turning point in resolving the crisis. These are meaningful steps that show a leader who listens and acts with wisdom.
As Albert Einstein once said, “Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.” Governor Nwifuru’s peaceful and thoughtful interventions through dialogue, several meetings and negotiations embodies this truth. His leadership gives us renewed hope that peace and unity can truly return to our communities.
We, the APC family in Ebonyi State, stand firmly behind our Governor. His actions inspire confidence and have shown that with the right leadership, even the toughest challenges can be overcome. Ebonyi is moving forward under his watchful and caring leadership.
Thank you, Your Excellency. Your efforts are deeply appreciated. You are not only a Governor but a symbol of peace and progress for our dear state.
