The Enugu State chapter of Ohanaeze Ndigbo has endorsed the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the State, Hon Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi as its preferred candidate for the April 11, 2015 election.
In a communiqué jointly signed by the State Chairman and Secretary of the Pan Igbo Association, Chief Eric Ebeh and Chief Fidelis Ojobo respectively, the body disclosed that the endorsement was a fallout of its appraisal of all the gubernatorial candidates of the political parties in the State and further “consultations with Traditional Rulers Council, the Professional Bodies, the Organized Sectors, Market Associations, Civil Society Groups, Student Unions and other Stakeholders”.
The apex socio-cultural Igbo body also conferred on Ugwuanyi a prestigious title of “Ozo-Igbo Ndu Ndi Igbo/ Grand Patron, Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo, Enugu State Chapter” in recognition of his contributions to the growth and development of the Igbo Nation.
They added that Ugwuanyi’s philanthropic gestures in empowering Igbo sons and daughters through job creation and employment, human capital development and goodwill, coupled with his excellence track records in public service, appealing manifesto and ability to deliver and sustain the good works of the PDP government in the State were among the major reasons why they unanimously resolved to support his gubernatorial bid.
The Pan Igbo Association appealed to “all eligible voters in the State to go to their respective polling booths on Saturday, 11th April 2015, and vote massively for our anointed candidate (Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi) to take over the mantle of leadership in the Enugu State Government House come 29th May 2015”.
