Ebonyi: Why I attended Labour Party lawmaker’s event – APC’s gov Nwifuru

• According to him, politics should be about collaboration in the overall interest of the people, adding that after elections come governance

Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru, has justified his gracing of an event organised by a Labour Party, LP, legislator from the state.

He said he attended the event because he did not think politics should be about antagonism, hostility and enmity.

Nwifuru spoke on Monday at Ishiagu, Ivo Local Government Area, during an empowerment programme organized by the member representing Ohaoazara/ Onicha/Ivo Federal Constituency at the House of Representatives, Nkemkanma Kama.

According to him, politics should be about collaboration in the overall interest of the people, adding that after elections come governance.

“Kama is supposed to be my enemy as he belongs to another party but he has turned out to be my friend.

“After election comes governance. That is why I came with leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, including its chairman,” he said.

The governor added that Kama had aligned with this ideology by also identifying with his administration.

Speaking, Kama thanked the governor and all the state’s leaders who attended the programme, saying that Nwifuru takes him as a brother and friend.

“I also thank the leadership of the House of Representatives and stakeholders of the constituency as their selflessness and commitment testify to the communal spirit in us,” he said.
