ADC Candidate Nwonu Backs Tinubu's 2027 Re-election Bid
Ambassador Ephraim Iyke Nwonu, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) House of Representatives candidate for Ezza South/Ikwo Federal Constituency in Ebonyi State, has officially withdrawn from the race and declared his support for President Bola Tinubu's 2027 re-election campaign. Nwonu made this announcement on Saturday in Abuja, despite still being listed as the ADC candidate on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) portal.
He stated that he chose to abandon his ambition to represent the constituency in favor of supporting Tinubu and the Governor of Ebonyi State. Nwonu emphasized his historical ties to Tinubu, dating back to 1992 when Tinubu served as a senator, and his late mentor, Senator Polycarp Nwite, was also in the Senate.
Nwonu was appointed as the secretary of the now-defunct Democratic Party of Nigeria in Ebonyi State by Nwite. He expressed his commitment to collaborating with APC stakeholders in Ebonyi State to rally support for Tinubu and the governor.
