Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifuru has warned local government council chairmen that they may be removed from office if they fail to secure victory for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in their respective areas during the 2027 general elections. Nwifuru made the statement on Tuesday while inaugurating the newly elected chairmen and vice chairmen of the state's 13 Local Government Areas.
He emphasized, "Any chairman who fails to win his council will be removed from office and replaced with a councillor." Nwifuru urged the chairmen to ensure 100 percent delivery for the APC, stating, "Charity begins at home." He also advised vice chairmen to collaborate with their chairmen, avoid rivalry, and not listen to gossip or bad advice from friends.
The deputy governor, a former council chairperson herself, noted that her rise to her current office was unexpected.
