Ebonyi Summit Endorses Odii for 2027 Governorship Race

The Ebonyi People’s Political/Economic Summit, held at DafoDil Resort in Abakaliki, endorsed Dr Ifeanyi Chukwuma Odii as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for the 2027 governorship election. The summit unveiled a six-point development agenda addressing fiscal transparency, agriculture, solid minerals, business development, youth employment, and infrastructure.

Organizers reported attempts by state security to disrupt the event. The agenda aims to provide a policy framework for political parties and emphasizes the need for credible programs to improve living conditions in Ebonyi.

A communiqué signed by Moses Idika, Chairman of the Communiqué Drafting Committee, stated that the 2027 election should focus on candidates' records and integrity rather than incumbency. Odii was represented by his running mate, Barrister Patrick Ngbebu.

Participants included political party representatives, community leaders, and various groups. The summit called for fiscal accountability measures and proposed initiatives to stimulate agriculture and solid minerals development.
