Ahead of the Saturday, January 16, 2027, presidential and National Assembly elections, a former Minority Leader of the Ebonyi State House of Assembly, Maria Ude Nwachi, has won the ticket for the Ebonyi South Senatorial contest on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party.
Addressing journalists on Tuesday in Abakaliki after the direct primary held in Afikpo, Nwachi expressed excitement at clinching the PDP ticket, reiterating her belief that the party would cruise to victory at the polls.
She said, “I thank all the delegates for the enormous love and support shown me at the primary election. This is just the start.
“All that I will tell you is that God has remembered us through my being in this race. As you see me here right now, I do not have much need of my own.
“All I need is to eliminate, or at least drastically reduce, the burdens on my people and beyond.
