The governor, in a gracious gesture, urged them to bring forth the innovative ideas and visions articulated in their manifestos for the collective development and prosperity of the state.
Governor Nwifuru’s magnanimous call came on Wednesday, September 27, 2023, in Abakaliki, shortly after the election petition tribunal in Abuja upheld his victory in the March 18, 2023 gubernatorial election.
The petition, lodged by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Dr. Ifeanyichukwu Odii, was dismissed, alongside a similar challenge presented by the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) candidate, Prof. Bernard Odoh, with both petitions found lacking in merit.
