According to him, “I have not made up my mind to support anybody except President Bola Tinubu, who has demonstrated love and support to us as a state.

“Another person is Goodluck Mbam of Ebonyi State House of Assembly, whom the constituents have equally endorsed.”

Mr Nwifuru, one of the three APC governors in the South-east, called on aspirants to be mindful of their conduct and comments to avoid overheating the polity, urging them to align their faith with destiny.

“You can only be there when God says so. Let us be calm, let us be humble.

“We will start zonal meetings on Wednesda,y and it will run from Thursday to Frida,y when I might have finished meeting with the leaders of the state”.

“We will discuss the Senate, House of Representatives, State House of Assembly and Governorship.

“We will not discuss the President’s position, because that one is a no-go area. We have only one Presidential candidate: President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“He is the only president who has started a project here and will commission it. We are giving him our votes a hundred per cent,” he added.

Mr Nwifuru congratulated his brother and his wife and wished them well in their marriage.
