2019: Ex-Enugu councillors endorse Gov Ugwuanyi for second term
Some former councillors in Enugu State have endorsed Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi for a second term.
The councillors, under the auspices of Ex-Councillors Forum, between 1999-2015, unanimously agreed to rally support for his re-election in 2019.
The ex-legislators, who gathered in their numbers at the Government House, Enugu on a solidarity visit, said their decision was based on Mr Ugwuanyiโs outstanding performance in office, especially โin the areas of infrastructural provisions, workersโ welfare, restoration of political stability and above all, the creation of enabling environment for peace and security in Enugu State.โ
Moving the motion for the endorsement of the governor for a second term in office, Ike Owoh, who represented Abia Ward in Udi Local Government Area, between 1999-2002, stated that he was constrained to move the motion to enable the governor โto continue with his good works in Enugu Stateโ.
Seconding the motion moved by Mr Owoh, the former councillor who represented Oduma Ward II in Aninri LGA (2007-2015), Onyii Nwafor-Odii, said he was โdriven by unreserved sincerity and honesty of heart with the utmost convictionโ that Mr Ugwuanyi has โperformed excellently in this first tenure of his governance of the most peaceful state of the federation โ Enugu Stateโ.
Mr Nwafor-Odii stressed that the governor โbeyond any human imagination, deserves a non-negotiable second tenure in the office as consented to by the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (1999) as amended.โ
โOn this brief note therefore, I speak unequivocally to second the perfectly delivered motion of endorsement of His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Ifeanyi Lawrence Ugwuanyi (Gburugburu) by my colleague, as our number one and only candidate for 2019 governorship election so as to accomplish all his well directed visions and mission for the people of Enugu State,โ he said.
Adopting the motion unanimously, after it was put to a voice vote by the leader of the forum, Chidiebere Okoh, the ex-councillors endorsed Mr Ugwuanyi for a second term in office and also presented the endorsement certificate to him as a symbol of their support and noble resolution.
They reassured the governor of their firm commitment to mobilise and campaign vigourosly for his electoral victory in the 2,956 polling units, declaring: We are ever ready to fight the battle for you.โ
Earlier, in his remark, the groupโs coordinator, Kizito Awalu, applauded Mr Ugwuanyi for his absolute faith in God, and congratulated him, on behalf of his colleagues, on the historic victory recorded by the Rangers International Football Club of Enugu, in the finals of the NFF/AITEO Federation Cup, pointing out that it was a clear manifestation that the governor always trusts his faith in God.
Mr Ugwuanyi, who thanked the elated ex-legislators for their solidarity, goodwill and support, reassured them of his administrationโs commitment to the growth and development of the state.
