Ugwuanyi promises to run people–oriented govt

Enugu State Peo­ple’s Democratic Party (PDP) gover­norship candidate, Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, has promised to make vital projects to be embarked upon by his administra­tion if elected gover­nor to be based on the needs of the people of the state.

Ugwuanyi disclosed this at the weekend when he hosted a delegation from Lagos under the ae­gis of Hon. Ifeanyi Ug­wuanyi Support Group, who visited him in Enugu.

He promised that when elected governor, he would call the people of the state and other stakeholders to a town hall meeting where segments and constituents of the state would table their major needs which would guide his adminis­tration in taking sensitive decisions on the location of projects.

The group, which has a membership that cuts across the three senato­rial zones of Enugu State, donated over 15,000 cam­paign materials to Ug­wuanyi to help him in his electoral bid. The group pointed out the numerous achievements of the law­maker who has been rep­resenting Igbo-Eze North/ Udenu federal constitu­ency in the House of Rep­resentatives in the past 12 years informed their deci­sion to support him.

In his brief remarks, chairman of the Lagos support group and native of Awgu Local Council Area, who led the three-man delegation, Chief G.O. Onuorah, explained that as natives of Enugu State living in Lagos, members of the group came together to form a united front in support of him with a view to check­mating those who are hell-bent on fomenting trouble following the emergence of the lawmaker as the PDP candidate.

In his response, Ug­wuanyi told the three-man delegation: “My campaign is an instrument of God and this can be testified by even drivers, ‘keke’ riders on the streets of Enugu.”

He urged the group that apart from campaigning for him in Lagos as shown in the campaign materials produced by the mem­bers, they should also join in the various prayer activities embarked upon by many groups which are also drumming sup­port for him. On how his proposed administration would run, especially in developing the state, Ug­wuanyi urged them to come up with ideas on what should be done to improve governance in the state if he is elected.
