Comrade Igbokwe added that Ugwuanyi “is a governor who makes workers’ welfare his first priority,” disclosing that “he paid June and July salaries even when FAAC did not sit for two months”, adding: “It is not obtainable anywhere.He said further: “We are supporting his second term bid and every other endeavor beyond his 2nd term, we will always stand by him.”

On the part of Enugu youths, the NYCN state Chairman, Comrade Ugwu, stated that “our youth-friendly governor has actually delivered on his promises to the youth in particular and the people of the state in general, disclosing that “youths in Enugu State are celebrating good governance and the peaceful atmosphere in Enugu State, made possible through His Excellency’s sound vision and humble disposition.”
