Guber election will be very hot next year in Ebonyi

PDP is very rooted and Obinna Ogba is a grass root politician.

But Ebonyi PDP stakeholders including strong senator Sam Egwu are strongly canvassing for Governorship to return to Ebonyi North whereas Ogba is from Central and laying claims that zoning is not constitutional.



Well, since APC is going to Ebonyi North in search of its candidature, and since Ebonyi North has the largest voting bloc, APC could take the day with federal might in its pocket.

PDP will have a brighter chance if someone from Ebonyi North and not Ogba(central), emerges candidate. Even though Ogba is highly popular. But the campaign for Ebonyi north to rule is very popular in the state and Dave will bank on this to zone to North.

I don’t think anyone cares who wins Ebonyi State. All their governors have been doing well just like Anambra, Kano and Akwa Ibom.

How is he a Senator elect? Did they do bye election in Ebonyi State ni?

This guy Melaye and Abaribe were turns in Buhari's flesh during his first tenure.

Two are now moving to vie for the governorship of their state.

Melaye is seeking another term in Abuja
