The people of Greater Ugwuaji communities in Enugu South Local Council of Enugu State have described Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi as their liberator, who came into office, saw the suppression they were experiencing in the polity of the council for decades, intervened and conquered it, in keeping with his administration’s peace and good governance initiatives.
The people, who trooped out in their numbers to the Government House, Enugu, to thank Ugwuanyi for the emergence of their son as the elected Chairman of Enugu South Council for the first time in the history of the state, in the person of Chiemezie Ngwuo, said the governor has “made the impossible possible.”
Speaking on behalf of the people, who came with their masquerades and cultural dance groups, dancing and thanking the governor, Okechukwu Ede disclosed that prior to the governor’s intervention “there have been acts of subjugation, suppression and denials of all sorts existing in our polity against the Greater Ugwuaji communities,” adding that the ugly experience had prevented their communities from having a say in governance at all levels.
Addressing the governor, Ede said: “When your administration came on board, despite enormous responsibilities on your shoulder, you never neglected or ignored addressing these aspects of man inhumanity to man. You handled these alongside the huge developmental projects in the state.”
