Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru, has warned that any local government chairperson who fails to deliver their council to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 elections will be removed from office.

Nwifuru issued the warning on Tuesday in Abakaliki, the state capital, while inaugurating the newly elected chairpersons and vice-chairpersons of the state’s 13 local government areas.

The governor said the council chairpersons would be held responsible for the APC’s performance in their respective areas, insisting that those who failed to secure victory would be replaced.

Nwifuru urged the new chairpersons to prevent opposition parties from gaining ground in their councils, stressing that they must first consolidate the APC’s position at the grassroots.
