Governor Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi State has commended the peaceful conduct of the local government elections across the 13 local government areas and 171 wards of the state.
Nwifuru spoke after casting his vote at his polling unit in Opherekpe, where he expressed confidence that the All Progressives Congress (APC) had what it takes to win all the chairmanship and councillorship seats in the state.
The governor described elections as a democratic process rather than a conflict, urging voters to freely choose candidates of their choice.
“The process is ongoing. It is not a war; it is an election. That is why I believe we don’t need to stress ourselves over voting for a candidate of our choice to become our leader.
