A group, OHANIVO General Assembly of indigenes of Ohaozara, Onicha and Ivo local government areas of Ebonyi State has expressed disappointment over the stand of Mrs Ann Agom-Eze on the Ebonyi central senatorial ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
A statement signed by the president-general of the organisation, Hon Darlington Okereke and other members of the group and made available to LEADERSHIP Friday, described the actions of Mrs Agom-Eze as insensitive.
They said the action of Agom-Eze is capable of causing political disharmony in OHANIVO, adding that as a body, they have unanimously condemned and denounced the
“unpatriotic manipulations and clear case of mischief.” They described as strange her behaviour, stating that it is unbecoming of a woman married to OHANIVO.
“This rude and externally motivated political misadventure of Mrs Agom-eze is an affront to the collective sensibilities of OHANIVO General Assembly and we therefore call on her to immediately retrace her steps and apologize to the people of OHANIVO for her antagonistic stance on the will of the people of Ebonyi South Senatorial District.”
“That by all moral and legal considerations, Governor Umahi has no rival as the APC candidate for Ebonyi South Senatorial District and he has the total support of the people of OHANIVO, having made his people proud as the Governor of Ebonyi State.
“We have painstakingly followed up the claims and critically reviewed the circumstances that led to the unconscionable path taken by Agom-Eze against the person of the Governor in the matter of Ebonyi South Senatorial ticket which the people have freely made their choice,” the group said.
The group maintained that by the APC zoning arrangement which was agreed upon before the party primaries by all members of APC in Ebonyi State, the Senatorial ticket for Ebonyi South Senatorial District was zoned to Ohaozara Local Government Area where incidentally, the incumbent Governor hails from.
