The Special Assistant to Enugu State Governor on New Media Matters, Mr. Emmanuel Jonathan, has described the stand by the Gubernatorial Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Enugu State Sen. Ayogu Eze as commendable.
Jonathan spoke to journalists while reacting to Sen. Eze’s statement that he will not be a cog in the wheel of the State’s progress.
DAILY POST reports that Eze spoke when delegation of Nsukka Cultural zone stakeholders visited him over the weekend.
He said that Eze’s statement was a welcome development as it signaled hope for peace, which will lead to a lot of infrastructural and human capital development in the state, adding “the Governor will now have his full sense of focus to administer quality leadership to the good people of Enugu state.
“Elections have come and gone, what Ndi-Enugu needs now is development and provision of dividends of democracy and not post-electoral battles which will pose a lot of distraction on the governor.
“Sen. Eze’s support is very much needed in the Enugu project and that is why myself and many other indigenes of the state received the overwhelming news of his promise to consider discontinuing the post- election battle with great sense of joy and commendation.”
The Governor’s aide said “Eze is a great and worthy son of Enugu North Senatorial Zone whose vast experience and contributions will be meaningful to the development of not only Enugu North Zone but the state at large.
“It is God’s desire that at this point in time, His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, will be the governor of Enugu State and it is imperative that Eze joins hands with others to see that the governor achieves the best for Ndi-Enugu.”
Jonathan also commended the delegation led by Sen. Chuka Utazi, noting that they “showcased a high sense of brotherhood as they unanimously went in search of one of their own whose contribution and support is needed in the current dynamics of the politics of the state.”
