The OdohziaEbonyi Support Groups, an umbrella platform made up of more than 20 groups drumming support for the election of Professor Benard Ifeanyi Odoh of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) as the next governor of Ebonyi State in 2023, has welcomed Chief Ifeanyi Odii to the Governorship Race.
In a statement made available to New National Star Friday in Abuja, signed by Dr. Laz Ude Eze, Global Coordinator, Odohzia Ebonyi Support Groups, the group assured Odii’s supporters of inclusion by Odoh’s Administration in 2023.
The group also advocated for robust issues-based debates and campaigns from 12th October on the development of the state, saying that, with Odoh being the leading and arguably the only authentic governorship candidate in the state over the past 3 months, it would have been very boring if the Supreme Court did not affirm Odii as the Peoples democratic Party (PDP) Governorship Candidate.
The statement reads: “The Odohzia Ebonyi Support Groups is the umbrella platform for over 20 groups drumming support for the election of Professor Benard Ifeanyi Odoh of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) as the next governor of Ebonyi State in 2023.
“We are happy to welcome Chief Ifeanyi Odii into the governorship race, following his affirmation by the Supreme Court as the PDP Governorship Candidate. With our principal being the leading and arguably the only authentic governorship candidate in the state over the past 3 months, it would have been very boring if the situation had lingered further. With the entry of Chief Odii, we look forward to robust issues-based debates and campaigns (from 12th October) on the development of the state.
“As we await Professor Odoh’s inevitable victory in March 2023, we urge supporters of other candidates not to be afraid of defeat, as Odoh’s administration will be inclusive and shall make every Ebonyi citizen proud.”
