Ahead of the primary elections of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the statutory and ad-hoc delegates from Enugu West Senatorial District, yesterday, rose with one voice, assuring Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State that they are solidly behind him, and will vote according to his direction in the selection of PDP candidates for the 2023 general elections in the state.

The delegates, who gave the assurance when they paid a solidarity visit to the governor at the Government House, Enugu, applauded the governor for entrenching peace and good governance in Enugu State. 

They also commended him for the peaceful conduct of the ward congress of the PDP across the 260 electoral wards of Enugu, stressing that the outcome of the exercise was an eloquent testimony that the governor is “a leader of peace.”

The delegates, from the five local councils of Enugu West Senatorial District, comprising Aninri, Awgu, Ezeagu, Oji River and Udi, told the governor that they have never taken, and will not take his peaceful disposition and uncommon leadership qualities for granted. 

They expressed delight that Enugu State is a reference point for peace in Nigeria, pointing out that the cherished feat was made possible because of the governor’s commitment to peace, security and wellbeing of residents of the state.
