Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru
The Ebonyi State Government has dismissed claims of a rift between Governor Francis Nwifuru and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
The state government also accused factions of the Peoples Democratic Party of distorting the governor’s remarks to create unnecessary tension between the two leaders.
The state’s Commissioner for Information and State Orientation, Ikeuwa Omebeh, clarified in a statement issued on Tuesday.
According to Omebeh, Governor Nwifuru never threatened the FCT minister during a grand endorsement rally for President Bola Tinubu and other APC candidates held on June 15 at the Pa Ngele Oruta Township Stadium in Abakaliki.
