2023: Ebonyi Senator Emerges APC Guber Consensus Aspirant
By Master News
A former Senator in Ebonyi State, Senator Julius Ucha has been adopted by his Populus Ezza Clan as a consensus aspirant for the governorship position in 2023.
The adoption followed the directive of the State Governor, David Umahi for the people of Ezza Clan to nominate two aspirants that would stand for the primary election of the All Progressives Congress.
After the two nominations, the Secretary to Ebonyi state government, Dr Kenneth Ugbala stepped down for Senator Ucha to stand as the sole aspirant for the governorship position.
Speaking after stakeholders meeting of the clan held at Onueke in Ezza South council area, Dr Ugbala said his decision to step down for Senator Ucha was borne out of the pleas of elders and stakeholders of the clan.
Ucha, who was the pioneer Speaker of Ebonyi State House of Assembly noted that his adoption was a show of solidarity and trust.
“It is a wonderful show of solidarity of the people of Ezza Ezekunna. It is a rare opportunity and something that is not usual in political environment. I feel very happy for the trust. Everything is in the hands of God. I believe that this time around that God’s will, will be that Ezza man as our people have decided and trusted in me, that God himself will use all the people involved in the electoral process especially the Governor, Engr. David Umahi to enthrone me as the successor of the present administration”.
“All that I know is that the people of Ezza Ezekunna were invited to the government House and were directed to perform this political arrangement which they did perfectly well. I have the chance to be the next Governor but everything is in the hands of God. The Party has three conditions upon which an aspirant can emerge in a primary election. They are through Direct, Indirect and Consensus, Senator Ucha said.
He further expressed optimism that whichever process that would be adopted, all the authorities in charged of all the processes especially the state Governor would be touched in the heart for him to succeed.
