He called on the opponents and others who had dragged him to court to drop their ligations and support his administration, with the purpose of uniting and developing the state.

According to him: “I call on my opponents who contested with me in the 2023 general election to join us in this great journey to savour the benefits available for them in this state.

“They should make themselves available and offer their beautiful ideas for the development of our state. I publicly plead with them to withdraw their petitions against me. As that will make us more unified and solidified.

“At the same time, this will make the Ebonyi people and the leadership of our great party (APC) more focused on discharging our enormous responsibilities. I assure you all, my political opponents, of a harmonious partnership, irrespective of our party differences.
