The chairman of the Senate Committee on Information, Kenneth Eze, has expressed his confidence that the election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will not be overturned by any legal or political maneuver.
Eze made this statement on Saturday, August 28, 2023, while addressing Ebonyi Central APC executives and other leaders of the party at his country home at Onueke, Ezza South LGA of Ebonyi State.
He urged the leadership and members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ebonyi State and Nigerians at large to dispel fears that the victory of President Bola Tinubu could be overturned, as rumoured by the opposition. saying that Tinubu’s victory was a reflection of the will of the people and the performance of the APC government in delivering good governance and economic development.
While he praised Tinubu for his bold decision to remove fuel subsidy, which he said had boosted the economy and reduced corruption. He announced that the Port-Harcourt refinery would be operational in two weeks’ time, which would further cushion the effect of the subsidy removal.
He said: “There is a lot of distraction. The enemies are doing everything to distract us, but we won’t allow them to succeed. APC came on board at a time when things were very difficult. People think that the fuel subsidy removal will crash the economy, but to their shock, the economy of the country is boosted, and God willing, in two weeks’ time, the Port-Harcourt refinery will be on stream and the effect of the subsidy removal will be cushioned.”
He added:
“I can assure you our party, the APC, is doing well, and nobody will overturn the election of the present administration. Some people have been boasting that either Atiku or Obi will take over the government, but I urge you to be strong and don’t be afraid; God is with us.”
Eze also used the occasion to celebrate the Ezza Ezekuna Ukaku New Yam festival with his kinsmen and women. He thanked them for their support and loyalty to the APC and assured them of more dividends of democracy from the federal and state governments.
He also called on all Ebonyians to join hands with Governor David Umahi in transforming the state and making it a model for others.
