Hon. Prince Prosper Ekumankama Withdraws From The Race for the Local Government Council Chairman in Afikpo South (EDDA) Local Government Area, Ebonyi State. Citing selection and the PDP led State government intention to turn the state into one party state where other parties are not giving equal opportunities to contest, like the forth coming Local Government council elections in the state as reasons for his decision.
His brief below:
THE FACT ABOUT THE 2017 LOCAL
GOVERNMENT ELECTION IN EBONYI STATE.

After all the political HARMONIZATION and
SETTLEMENTS that happened last week in the state. I have come to the facts that:
1. There was never a time the PDP
led Government of the state planned a free and fair Local Government Election
in the state.
2. The Harmonization and settlements
is not in anyway enshrined in the Constitution of our Country rather party
primaries.
3. That the state electoral
guidelines and laws have been mocked by the powerful Harmonization and
settlements(meaning that the primaries and main polls can actually be
harmonized indoor)
4. The people do not have a say in
local Government Elections.
5. You must be in the state ruling
party to participate in local Government Elections.
Before I proceed in my decision, I
want to keep the records straight. Assumption is the way of the fools, I have
heard a lot of rumors that I have been settled (with money). Of what need will
it be to my opponent to settle me when everything about the SELECTION is in his
favor? Although I did not allow this speculation(s) bother me because I have
bigger things that bother me so much.
1. My supporters: during this time
in view, a lot of them called me from within and outside the country
encouraging me and praying for me. Well, God answered all our prayers. All we
must do is to be patient till the time of manifestation. Though it may tarry
but God's time is the BEST. I want to thank you all for supports and
solidarity. You all believed in me even when I did not throw money around. I
promise by God's grace not to disappoint you in anyway.
My friends, well you are wonderful.
Though some like Judas turned against me but I still want to thank you because
those experiences made me stronger, wiser and above all, brought me closer to
God. I do not hold anything against anyone, after all it is a game of interest.
My party, APC I see a bigger and
beautiful future in you. Though the beginning may look bad and rough. But the
future I see is good. We must resolve all our problems and prepare for this
wonderful future that is just at the door post.
My secret and open campaigners,
especially the the generational changers, etc. You guys are good. With you we are
sure of a brighter tomorrow.
My wonderful family,hmmmmmm. I lack
words to appreciate you. I also want to appreciate my pastors and spiritual
directors and prayer partners. God will continue to use you. I want to thank
all my FACEBOOK FRIENDS for your love and support. I wish to encourage all of
us to continue to pursue Everything that we see our passion in.
Remember ANY FUTURE YOU DO NOT
PICTURE YOU WILL NOT FUTURE.
To my Edda, I promise to serve you and bring back your
lost glory by God's grace. I am committed to Edda project, Ebonyi state is my
passion, Nigeria is my pride. Once
again I thank you.
To my beautiful wife,you are my back
bone.
At this juncture I humbly withdraw
from the race.
Prince Prosper Ekumankama.
