“”This is why we are mobilizing our people to  vote only candidates from Southeast  for peace to reign , especially amidst tension of secession by various groups in the southeast of Nigeria .

 

“And for us , the best leader from the Southeast region is the Incumbent Governor of Enugu State because, he has strictly adhered to the provisions of the constitution by providing security to protect lives of citizens and non indigenes residing in the state over the last seven years .

 

“We did not only hear from our northern brothers in Enugu,but  also was adequately  informed about the supportive role of Gov. Ugwuanyi in ensuring internal security in Enugu State and beyond.The support we gathered has ensured that “Enugu has remained the most peaceful state in the South-east geo-political zone” .

 

“We have equally seen  numerous legacy infrastructure projects put in place by the performing Governor , especially the areas quality  roads within Enugu and in the rural areas .
