The Ezza clan in Ebonyi state has vowed to claim more political seats come 2019 elections in the state, saying blanket automatic tickets being promised everybody by the governor is not to their advantage.
Some of the aggrieved Ezza youths stated that popular candidates in the states are being offered tickets in parties other than their clan.
“As politicians strategise for power in 2019, it has become glaring that they will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
Not even the membership of another political group will convince them to look elsewhere.
This seems to be the case in Ezza clan of Ebonyi state where perceived popular candidates are being offered tickets in parties other than theirs.
This is coming on the heels of the adoption by the Ezza clan of the incumbent governor. Opposition parties have started intense lobbying of political heavyweights in Ezza to shop for Governorship, senatorial, and candidates for other elective positions.
People in and outside government are being contacted to destabilize the incumbent major support base.
The major grouse is that the people feel that those representing them currently have not done a good job of it.
“the blanket automatic tickets being promised everybody by the governor is not to our advantage. In fact, we feel insulted. We are looking for credible people to run the elections for us, all the elections except the presidency” fumed Nwali Obinna, a leader of youths in the area.
Similarly, a member of Ezzas in the diaspora organization, Ken Nwoyoke vowed that the clan must make its own statement in the coming elections.
“they have taken us for a ride for too long, we will give them a shocker this time “.
