Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru has sworn-in the newly elected thirteen local government area chairmen in Ebonyi State.
Speaking during the ceremony at the Ecumenical Center in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State Capital, Nwifuru charged the Council Chairmen to be wary of their actions and activities.
He said, “The challenge is how to maintain those who work for you. I am sure in your two years in office, you will not remember them because of the acitivies in the office. Ask God to give you the opportunity to enable you choose your friends.
“You are in a very dangerous road because any move you make will be looked into. We cannot be two captains in the sheep I am the captain.
“If this autonomy will make you fight dirty we will fight,but I will not talk. I want you to be careful of what makes this state to be beautiful. They are the stakeholders. If you listen to social media and you go around fighting them, you are fighting the Governor.
“There is no functional factory in the state. The only one we have we must protect it. I want you to be ready to service the stakeholders. They comprises the youths and women.
“The second thing is project, infrastrutural development. We have not gotten to the success stage. We do not need to rush. As we are talking of infrastructural development be prudent and assertive to get it right. I know many things confront you. But you have to be sincere”, he charged the council chairmen.
