Pius Anyim, a former president of the senate, has declared support for Francis Nwifuru, governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ebonyi state.
Nwifuru is the current speaker of the Ebonyi state house of assembly.
According to NAN, Anyim declared support for the APC candidate on Wednesday while speaking with reporters in Ishiagu, his hometown in Ivo LGA of Ebonyi.
The former secretary to the government of the federation (SGF) said his decision to back Nwifuru is predicated on his belief in the rotation of power.
