Ebonyi community denies endorsing ex-gov for Senate

 The Okpuitumo community in Ikwo Local Government Area of Ebonyi State has said it has not endorsed a former governor of the state and senator representing Ebonyi North Zone, Dr. Sam Egwu, for Senate, come 2023.

The community also said the post that made rounds on social media recently announcing it tipped the former governor for a third term in 2023 was the handiwork of mischief makers and should be disregarded.

The Town Union president of the community, Nwibo Pius, stated this during a press briefing on Friday in Abakaliki, the state capital.

He said, “I am a member of the All Progressives Congress right from the beginning. And all the members of Okpuitumo community have resolved that we will vote for the APC. It’s this party (APC) that our people trust and have confidence in.

“In the APC, we have a governorship candidate, a senatorial candidate, House of Representatives candidates and House of Assembly candidates. So, how can we leave the party for another one?

“So, the statement on social media credited to my person that I have endorsed a former governor of the state and current senator representing Ebonyi North Zone, Sam Egwu, is the handiwork of mischief makers.

“I didn’t endorse Egwu. We have no reason whatsoever to endorse him. He has not done anything for our people since he became senator, and even the transformer he brought to our community, is not working.

“We have rather endorsed our own Onyekachi Nwebonyi for Ebonyi North Zone, and Emmanuel Uguru for Abakaliki/Izzi Federal Constituency, come 2023.

“Therefore, nobody should associate me or the community with any write-up on social media saying I have promised to give Egwu and other Peoples Democratic Party candidates massive support come 2023. It’s a big lie. Okpuitumo community is united in this resolve and we will abide by it.”

Augustine Eguavoen Did A Fine Job As Super Eagles Coach

  By now it is no news to any Nigerian sports fan, that Augustin Eguavoen and his entire team have been relieved of their duties at the helm of affairs of the Nigerian National team. Most Nigerians are happy with this development, with some claiming that his immediate predecessor, Gernot Rohr would have delivered better results. However, a simple analysis of events will clearly demonstrate that Eguavoen did a fine enough job given the circumstances. I will attempt to undertake this analysis by demonstrating, first that Eguavoen has a better record than one might realize, and secondly by comparing the performance of his Super Eagles with that of Afcon winners, Senegal, and runners-up Egypt. When Gernot Rohr was sacked a few weeks to the Afcon, knowledgeable sportspersons decried the move, citing the difficulty any new coach would face in setting up the team to play to his own patterns. In analyzing Eguavoen, therefore, it must first be understood that the new boss was operating unde...
