On the forthcoming Local Government Election in the state, Governor Nwifuru restated that he has not anointed any candidate and vowed to ensure level play ground for all the aspirants.
“As far as I am concerned, the will of the people must prevail, the people must choose their representatives without interference from any quarter.”
He used the forum to dispel rumours of lethargy in Vincent Agwu Nwankwo Flyover, VANCO, a monumental infrastructural marvel of his administration, maintaining that the administration is deliberately taking steps to ensure the state is seen in the comity of nations with advanced and modern infrastructures.
“You cannot find any state in Nigeria that is doing such flyover currently”, he said, explaining the construction rigours inherent in the massive project that will automatically alter the ugly scenes and give the state a facelift when completed.
