Ebonyi youths have declared their unwavering readiness to resist any opposition coalition ahead of the 2027 general election, insisting that Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru’s visible grassroots development has earned him the people’s mandate beyond doubt.
Speaking in Abakaliki, Comrade Chinedu Emerike, Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Youth Mobilization and Development and National President of the FON Youth Movement, said youths across the 13 local government areas remain solidly behind Nwifuru's administration because of its uncommon transformation across Ebonyi communities.
According to him, every ward in the state bears the governor’s “signature projects,” making Ebonyi a model of inclusive governance.
"This governor is not the type that makes empty promises. He is working. If you go to any community, you will see his projects.
"Every ward in this state has his footprint. We are not afraid of any coalition. We are waiting for them, and we tell them they are welcome, but they should know there is no space in the Ebonyi Government House,” Emerike declared.
On the ongoing voter registration exercise, he called on young people to take advantage of the opportunity, stressing that voter registration is the only gateway to sustaining good governance.
“INEC is ready. Our duty is to mobilize our people to register. This government has given us employment, infrastructure, and empowerment, so the least we can do is to secure the future by registering and voting,” he said.
He maintained that Ebonyi youths will continue to rally around Governor Nwifuru, describing the opposition coalition as “a paper tiger” that cannot withstand the governor’s performance-driven leadership.
