South East Monarchs, Workers, Congratulate Ugwuanyi on Re-election
The Executive Committee of the South East Council of Traditional
Rulers on Wednesday congratulated Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu
State, on his re-election during last Saturday’s Governorship election
in the state.
In the same vein, the workers of Enugu State through the Trade Union
Congress of Nigeria (TUC) also congratulated Gov. Ugwuanyi for his
“well-deserved landslide victory” at the polls, stating that the
“jubilatory election is a true representation of the wishes of the
entire Enugu State Workers”.
The royal fathers, who briefed newsmen through the Chairman of the
Committee, His Royal Majesty, Igwe Alfred Nnaemeka Achebe (Obi of
Onitsha), shortly after they paid Gov. Ugwuanyi a courtesy visit at
the Government House, Enugu, said they “join the people of Enugu State
in thanking God for the peaceful elections that took place in the
state”.
Igwe Achebe added that the resounding victory Gov. Ugwuanyi recorded
at the polls was a re-affirmation of the confidence the people of
Enugu State reposed in him “by giving him the mandate to lead them for
another four years”.
He stated that the victory “shows that his previous four years was
done very well”, saying: “We thank God for that and hope that he will
build on his achievements in the last four years to give him room for
stronger days in the next four years”.
The committee chairman disclosed that the traditional rulers were in
Enugu for their quarterly meeting where they deliberated and took
decisions on issues of great importance to the people of the zone and
Nigeria. He thanked the governor for his hospitality and other
necessary support he provided towards the successful hosting of the
event.
The Obi of Onitsha also expressed gratitude to Gov. Ugwuanyi and other
South East Governors for their leadership role in closing the “little
gap in communication” that had existed among the traditional rulers,
in the interest of South East.
The Enugu State workers in a congratulatory message by the Chairman
and Secretary of TUC, Comrade Igbokwe Chukwuma Igbokwe and Comrade
Benneth Asogwa, maintained that Gov. Ugwuanyi’s victory “speaks
volumes of your good works in Enugu State”.
The body told the governor that “your administration will continue to
put smile on the faces of Enugu State workers as you will do more to
improve the welfare of workers in the state”.
The workers, therefore, prayed God to continue to bestow the governor
with “His Divine Wisdom and strengthen you as you carry out this
onerous task of governing Enugu State”
