Onyekachi Nwebonyi, the candidate of the APC for Ebonyi North senatorial district, yesterday insisted that he will not step down for the former governor of the state, Sen. Sam Egwu, ahead of 2023 elections.
GoldenNewsNg reports that this follows speculations in some quarters of the state that the former governor, who is currently the senator representing Ebonyi North Senatorial district at the Red Chamber, had approached the APC candidate to step down for him.
But, Nwebonyi, who reaffirmed his readiness to contest in the forthcoming election, spoke in Abakaliki at the ongoing media parley for candidates of various political parties.
The event was organised by the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Correspondents’ Chapel, Ebonyi State.
