Enugu Governor-Elect Ugwuanyi extends hand of fellowship to opposition parties

The Enugu State governor-elect, Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, has called on members of the opposition parties to join hands with him in moving the State forward.

Ugwuanyi, who was briefing newsmen for the first time since his election, said it was only rational that he continued with the developmental programmes of Governor Sullivan Chime whom he said had laid a solid foundation for the socio-economic development of the State.

He reaffirmed his commitment to seeing through the legacy of Chime’s four-point agenda and also introduce his own four-point agenda which includes Employment generation, Social Services and Good governance, rural development, security and justice.

Highly elated Ugwuanyi said, “I appreciate those who contested against me both in the party primary and general election; I also recognize the support of the 22 political parties that endorsed me and I invite them to come and join me in moving the State forward because there is work to be done.

“I want to tender my heartfelt gratitude to the people of Enugu State, I salute the commitment and sacrifice of the ordinary Enugu men and women both at home and in the Diaspora towards the actualization of this victory.

“In particular I want to pay a special tribute to the people’s governor Sullivan Chime for his great and heroic roles in making this feat possible”.

He further expressed appreciation to elder statesmen, and former governors Ken Nnamani, Jim Nwobodo, Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo, Chimaroke Nnamani, Alison Madueke and Anthony Oguguo.

“I am happy that you resoundly chosen me as your next governor but for me it is even more important and heart warming that my election has been widely acknowledged as transparent and credible”, he added.
