The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ebonyi State, Stanley Okoro Emegha has declared that the state is on lead across the South- East zone in the ongoing voters registration ahead of the 2027 general elections.

 

 

Emegha said stakeholders of the state have been working to ensure that the state maintain the status in the registration exercise.

 

He disclosed this in an interview with journalists in Abakaliki, after stakeholders meeting of the APC on Tuesday.

 

 

He noted that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has provided additional machine to the state to address shortage of machines in the exercise.

 

“We have appealed to the INEC headquarters for more machines because we know that what they assigned for each local government is not enough to carry our people.

 

 

“As a result of this, we have applied for more machines and we have gotten it and we have distributed those machines.

 

“Local Government Chairmen are working on it including tertiary institutions. We are also meeting people that doesn’t have the capacity of coming down to their polling units to register, we are meeting them in their various locations now as far as it within Ebonyi State.

 

“The most important thing is for our people to register. We don’t care who you are going to vote for but we want Ebonyi to be counted when others are being counted. So we have started doing a lot for the voters registration.

 

“We are leading in the entire South East, that is the truth. Stakeholders are working seriously to make sure we have good registration.

 

” Let our people register first whether you are in party A or B. Then, after the registration, we will start talking about who do you want to use your PVC for”, he stated.
