Ituma Warns Opposition Amid Nwifuru's Election Threat
Ituma, recently sworn in as the chairman of Ohaukwu Local Government and a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), issued a warning to opposition members regarding political activities within the council. He stated that anyone who attempted to operate against his political interests would be declared persona non grata, emphasizing that politics is his primary business.
This warning was made in a viral video. The context of Ituma's comments follows a statement from Governor Francis Nwifuru, who warned local government chairmen during the inauguration of newly elected chairmen and vice-chairmen of the 13 local government areas in Ebonyi State.
Nwifuru declared that any chairman who fails to secure victory for the APC in their council during the 2027 elections would be removed from office and replaced with a councillor. He stressed the importance of this message being widely known, indicating that complacency among chairmen could lead to their removal.
