By Oko OMAKA 

Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru of Ebonyi state has stated that the present administration is now more focused to deliver dividends of democracy to the people.

In press statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Dr. Monday Uzormade, and made available to THE BEAGLE NEWS shortly 
after the Supreme Court judgement which upheld his election,  Nwifuru said equity, justice and fairness have prevailed.

The Governor described the Supreme Court verdict  on Friday, January 12, 2024 "as the day when light overtook darkness, it is a day we emerged victorious against our distractions as Supreme Court Judgement has finally upheld the populist mandate freely given to us by you."

" The judgement, which was delivered by the erudite judges, has finally nailed the protracted legal battle challenging the sincerity of purpose, courage of conviction, equity, fairness and justice, which was the fulcrum our coming to power hinged.

"It is a win for all of us who vehemently opposed the mercantilist politics that nearly serrated  our shared vision as a people. And so , I congratulate you. 

"The People's Charter of Needs, which integrates the urgent needs of our people would have been truncated if not for your fervency in supplications to God Almighty for the judiciary to defend democratic ethos."

 The Governor said the judgment calls for not only jubilation, but celebration because it has brought to an attempt to truncate the wishes of  the  people,.

"As we have survived their legal onslaughts, we are now more than conquerors, with a renewed verve to deliver the mandate you freely gave. "

"We are convinced that never again shall division against our shared norms and common ancestry rear its ugly head, the Governor  stated. 

He  commended the nation's judiciary for their sincerity and unbiased stance in the dispensation of justice, the All Progressive Congress, his campaign council and the Divine mandate campaign Organization, for galvanizing support that led to his victory at the polls. 

Governor Nwifuru, however, promised to  remain magnanimous in his resolve  to carry everybody along irrespective of party affiliations, enjoining political  opponents to join hands with him in his administration's  drive to build a  more virile state.
