Governor David Umahi has urged Ebonyi State voters to support the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in next month's election.

The governor, who made the call at the kick off of the party's local government campaign rallies at Iboko, the headquarters of Izzi Local Government Area said the APC presidential candidate loves the Igbo nation.

He added that the Igbo will be fully accommodated and carried along by Tinubu as president.

Umahi also urged the electorate to vote for the party's governorship candidate, Francis Nwifuru and others candidates contesting on the platform of the party.

He described Tinubu and Nwifuru as experienced and capable leaders who have the capacity to take the country and state to the next level.

The governor noted that Ebonyi State would be better off with an APC government at all levels.

He cautioned Ebonyi people against supporting any governorship candidate from Ebonyi South senatorial district, insisting that equity demands that Ebonyi North, precisely Izzi clan, should produce the next state governor.

Umahi maintained that Nwifuru has been tested and trusted over a period of 16 years to diligently continue on the achievements made so far in the state.

He said: 'We must go back to our polling units. We are standing with Tinubu and Shettima. They will take care of Ebonyi State the way Buhari took care of Ebonyi State. The way Buhari has been taking care of us that is the way Jagaban is going to take care of the Ndigbo.
