Ebonyi state, governor, Martin Elechi, on
Thursday, said that he was not sure that he
would contest a senatorial position in the Ebonyi
Central zone, in the 2015 general elections.
Elechi, who stated this when the leadership of
Ebonyi Youth Assembly paid him a visit and urged
him to contest for Senate, said that he was still
battling to complete the numerous projects he
embarked upon before the expiration his tenure
in 2015.
He noted that his stand on the next general
election was in line with the preaching of
President Goodluck Jonathan that they should,
“do things like people who are law abiding”
because there was no need to heat the polity up,
as there was so much to be done with the
remaining period.
“I am still battling on how to get loans to
complete those projects that must be completed
within my tenure. And those that should be
continued after my tenure has expired, another
administration will continue with it.
“You have demonstrated your decision to
conscript me to the senate. I am praying to come
out of this prison where I am today and you are
asking me to continue with another prison. Please
this is not the time,” Elechi said.
Speaking, the leader of Ebonyi Youths Assembly
(EYA), Chinedu Ogah, said they were there to ask
the governor to contest for senate and added
that they had concluded every arrangements to
start the ball rolling for the political campaigns for
the Governor.
Ogah said that the union had acquired office
accommodation in each of the four local
government areas in the senatorial zone to be
used for the campaign purposes.
