The Elders and stakeholders of Ishielu Local Government Area of Ebonyi State have endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor Francis Nwifuru and the incumbent council chairman, Mrs Peace Agwu, for second term in office.
The well-attended and colourful endorsement rally took place at the Ishielu Local Government Council Secretariat and was organized to recognize the performance and achievements of the current administrations at both federal, State and local government levels.
Commending the organisers for the endorsement, Mrs Peace Agwu lauded Governor Nwifuru's administration for the numerous infrastructural works across the council and noted it as a pointer to the show of admiration and endorsement by the people.
"His Excellency, the governor of Ebonyi State, has done wonderfully well, especially in Ishielu local government; he has done it across the state, but in Ishielu, it's massive.
"He has done over 23 kilometres of roads in Ezza Ezillo that have brought permanent peace. He has also initiated the construction of 2 kilometres of roads in each of the traditional rulers' palaces and modern duplexes.
"He has also constructed 144 bungalows in the Amaeze community in Ishielu, just to mention a few. That is the reason why they came out en masse to support him and to move a motion to adopt him for a second tenure." She said.
She lauded President Tinubu for the ongoing construction of a dualised carriage which passes through the council, noting it as not only a development but also an avenue for economic growth in Ebonyi state and the southeast.
In his delivery, the coordinator, Alife Men for FON, Hon. Agwu Uchenna, described the movement as an endorsement of peace and progress, saying that a good tenure deserves another, and appealed to the council chairman to heed the call for service to humanity.
Chief Ali O. Daniel, a critical stakeholder in the area and former board member of the Ebonyi Broadcasting Corporation (EBBC), in his endorsement speech, described President Tinubu, Governor Nwifuru and Mrs Agwu as replicas of excellence in leadership, seeing the moment as historic.
"We can never look for the best when excellent is needed. Our chairman is excellent, our governor is excellent, and our president is excellent. The reward for good governance is more tenure and continuity. We are here to enthrone peace and love, and we are appealing to the chairman to come again for another tenure." He added,
Others who spoke at the event included the All Progressives Party (APC) chairman, Ishielu local government, Mr Abah Ikechukwu, the vice chairman of the council, Mrs Philomina Ekechi, and the secretary, Mrs Bridget Nwafor, who echoed the chorus of the reelection.
