“No doubt, Your legislative background as a two-term Speaker of Ebonyi State House of Assembly has richly informed your inclusive governance style.
“Through your People’s Charter of Needs, you have delivered the true precepts of democracy dividends which is not just infrastructure revolution; you have institutionalized participatory governance, reconciled all divides, and given every Ebonyian a true sense of belonging; you have guaranteed unprecedented democratic freedoms for all, irrespective of partisan affiliations and social strata.
“In less than four years, your administration has recorded a positive performance index that is visible, verifiable, and celebrated across all sectors; you have entrenched peace, restored calm to troubled communities, and made Ebonyi one of the most peaceful States in the federation; your builder’s touch is evident in landmark feats — the ongoing iconic Vanco Flyover project, the rehabilitation of the Chuba Okadigbo International Airport runway, the building of the ICT University, and the University of Aeronautics and Aerospace Engineering, the massive housing estates, and the aggressive urban and rural road revolution that has opened up our communities; you have revitalized our health institutions, equipped our hospitals, and restored hope to our people; through overseas scholarships, school renovations you are preparing a generation for the future; through massive civil service recruitment, prompt payment of salaries, payment of gratuities, and youth/ women empowerment, you have restored dignity to labour and hope to families, among others.
“You have proven that true governance is built on accountability by bringing Ebonyi on board as one of the topmost transparent States in Nigeria and one of the best in Fiscal Responsibility. We are very proud of you.
“Your Excellency, you are indeed building not just structures, but people, peace, harmony and the future of our dear State.
“It is for these reasons that the people of Ebonyi State have vowed and bowed — in unity, in gratitude, and in conviction — to stand firmly by you come 2027 General Elections and ensure the delivery of APC candidates from top to bottom. They have seen a leader who keeps his promises.
“They have seen a Governor who listens, who is humble and humane. They have seen a builder who delivers and who believes that a labourer needs to be rewarded(onye ruo orie)”, the council said.
