Pius Anyim, a former president of the senate, has declared support for Francis Nwifuru, governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ebonyi state.
Nwifuru is the current speaker of the Ebonyi state house of assembly.
According to NAN, Anyim declared support for the APC candidate on Wednesday while speaking with reporters in Ishiagu, his hometown in Ivo LGA of Ebonyi.
The former secretary to the government of the federation (SGF) said his decision to back Nwifuru is predicated on his belief in the rotation of power.
Anyim, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said it is the turn of the northern senatorial district of Ebonyi to govern the state.
“I believe in the rotation of the gubernatorial seat to the three districts for equity and justice,” Anyim said.
“I have long believed in this principle and cannot back down on it.
“I fought for it at the national level in the PDP and have to do so in my state.”
