2023: Sen. Ucha Emerges Ebonyi APC Consensus Governorship Aspirant

A former Senator in Ebonyi State, Julius Ucha, has emerged a consensus governorship aspi­rant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from his Ezza Ezekunna clan.

Ezza Ezekunna clan is the most populous in Ebonyi State.

The adoption followed the directive of the state Gover­nor, David Umahi, for the peo­ple of Ezza clan to nominate two governorship aspirants that would stand for the pri­mary election of the APC.

The Ezza clan, in com­pliance with the governor’s directive, nominated the Sec­retary to Ebonyi State govern­ment, Dr. Kenneth Ugbala and Senator Julius Ucha.

But Ugbala after further meetings by the clan, stepped down for Ucha to emerge the sole governorship aspirant from the clan.

Speaking after a stake­holders’ meeting of the clan on Tuesday at Onueke, Ucha, who was the pioneer Speak­er of Ebonyi State House of Assembly, noted that his adop­tion was a show of solidarity and trust.
