Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru says he attended an event organised by a Labour Party, LP, legislator from the state because politics is not enmity.
Nwifuru stated this on Monday at Ishiagu, Ivo Local Government Area, during an empowerment programme organized by the member representing Ohaoazara/ Onicha/Ivo Federal Constituency at the House of Representatives, Nkemkanma Kama.
He said that he attended the event because politics should be about collaboration in the overall interest of the state and country.

“Kama is supposed to be my enemy as he belongs to another party but he has turned out to be my friend.
“After election comes governance. That is why I came with leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, including its chairman,” he said.
The governor added that Kama had aligned with this ideology by also identifying with his administration.
Speaking, Kama thanked the governor and all the state’s leaders who attended the programme, saying that Nwifuru takes him as a brother and friend.
“I also thank the leadership of the House of Representatives and stakeholders of the constituency as their selflessness and commitment testify to the communal spirit in us,” he said.
Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State has accused opposition politicians of exacerbating fears about insecurity in the state, alleging that they are exploiting the security situation for political gain. He emphasized that such actions only serve to undermine efforts to restore peace and stability in the region.
Governor Soludo, through a statement by his spokesperson, Christian Aburime, highlighted that ensuring security is a shared obligation that extends beyond the state government.
He lamented that in Anambra, a troubling narrative has emerged where some are using security issues as an opportunity to undermine his administration instead of rallying together to address the pressing challenges.
The statement read, “Indeed, critics of the current security situation raise valid points that deserve attention. However, sometimes, the tendency to politicise security challenges or exaggerate incidents for ulterior motives serves no one’s interests.
