Hon Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi To Replace Governor Chime As Governor Enugu State ; Chime Anoints Him

                                

It was unbelievable but it happened as the member representing Igbo Eze North /Udenu Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon Ifeanyi Ugwanyi, has been selected by Governor Sullivan Chime of Enugu State to succeed him in 2015. Ugwanyi holds a Bachelors Degree on Emergency and Disaster Management.

Ugwanyi was said to have been chosen at a meeting presided by Chime in Enugu last night against big those parading themselves initially as the beloved candidates for the Governor.

Odogwu Media reports that after the pro-Jonathan rally at Nnamdi Azikwe Stadium on Thursday, PDP caucus members were summoned to meet for the selection which took place at the Government House, Enugu.

Interestingly to the shock of even Ugwuanyi, Chime moved the motion for the adoption of Ugwuanyi to succeed him in office and was seconded by Chief Goodsmark Ugwu prompting the party state Chairman of the PDP, Chief Vita Abba to throw his weight behind the governors position.

  According a source at the meeting, Chief Abba said, “ having served the party for several years. I will align myself with the position of the governor and I am stepping down for Mr. Ugwuanyi.”

However, the source further revealed that there were strident dissenting voices at the meeting as other aspirants described the governor’s unilateral imposition of a candidate on the party as dictatorial as it would breed indiscipline.

The latest development could however, further widen the crack within the party though the governor was said to have instructed Mr. Ugwuanyi to embark on a reconciliation tour with other aggrieved members from Enugu-North senatorial district were the party governorship ticket was zoned to.
