A Northern-based farmer, who recently relocated his farming business to his community in Mbu, Isi-Uzo Council of Enugu State, Alhaji Sani Friday Nnaji, has commended Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi for promoting peace, unity and national integration among Nigerians in the state irrespective of religious and ethnic differences.

Speaking when Ugwuanyi visited him and the Christian and Muslim communities in his country home in Mbu to celebrate Christmas and New Year, yesterday, Nnaji disclosed that it was because of the governor’s belief in God and his penchant for peace and unity that Christians and Muslims coexist peacefully and “gathered here to eat together.”

Nnaji, who pointed out that what Ugwuanyi has done for his community, Isi-Uzo Council and Enugu State was immeasurable, stressed: “The good things we are enjoying today is because of your good heart and quality leadership.”

He commended Ugwuanyi for providing the enabling atmosphere for businesses to thrive in Enugu State, adding that the governor had been supportive of his farming business in the state.

Thanking Ugwuanyi for the support for him and the people in the business sector, he said: The governor brought a lot of goodies to Isi-Uzo Council, especially in Mbu.

This is the third time he is visiting Mbu in one year. We have always celebrated the Christmas and New Year with you. My people in Ugwualama Mbu are grateful for the good things you have done for us.”

Nnaji disclosed that it was because of the enduring peace and security Ugwuanyi entrenched in Enugu State and the enabling business environment that he relocated most of his farming businesses from the North to his community in Mbu.
