NDC's Nwagu Advocates Competence for Ebonyi Governorship

Senator Paulinus Igwe Nwagu, the governorship candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Ebonyi State, called on voters to prioritize competence, experience, and capacity over political rotation and sectional interests for the 2027 governorship election. He made this statement during a press conference in Oriuzor, Ezza North Local Government Area, where he formally announced his candidacy.

Nwagu, a former chairman of the Senate Committee on Police Affairs, argued that the election should focus on candidates' records and leadership capacity rather than ethnic affiliations. He identified key priorities for the state, including roads, education, healthcare, employment, security, and economic prosperity, asserting that development transcends tribal identity.

Nwagu committed to running an issue-based campaign that emphasizes practical governance and measurable results. He also urged the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and other political parties to engage in peaceful competition, advocating for tolerance and political maturity among party members and supporters.
