Ugwanyi Anointed To Succeed Governor Chime



Enugu state Governor Sullivan Chime is believed to have chosen Hon Ifeanyi Ugwanyi as the one to succeed him as Governor in 2015.

Hon Ifeanyi Ugwanyi the member representing Igbo Eze North /Udenu Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives was said to have been chosen at a meeting presided by Chime in Enugu last night.


A Source revealed that at the meeting, that Chime moved the motion for the adoption of Ugwuanyi to succeed him in office.

His motion was seconded by Chief Goodsmark Ugwu prompting the party state Chairman of the PDP, Chief Vita Abba to throw his weight behind the governors position.  According to the source, Chief Abba said, “ having served the party for several years. I will align myself with the position of the governor and am stepping down for Mr. Ugwuanyi.”

However, the source further revealed that there were strident dissenting voices at the meeting as other aspirants described the governor’s unilateral imposition of a candidate on the party as dictatorial as it would breed indiscipline.

The latest development could however, further widen the crack within the party though the governor was said to have instructed Mr. Ugwuanyi to embark on a reconciliation tour with other aggrieved members from Enugu-North senatorial district were the party governorship ticket was zoned to.

Today, there are more than 16,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 across 35 States and the FCT, and over 400 deaths and counting. How Nigeria recovers from the effects of the infection will depend on the innovations we are willing to introduce and the reforms we are committed to implementing in the various sectors of our society.

Why We Must Implement Diaspora Voting System By Hon. Alex Obi-Osuala

Image
Diaspora votes must count in Nigeria. This is my position/opinion. If not because of the dubious nature of the officials in the government of Nigeria, one does not see any reason why Nigerians in Diaspora shouldn’t be voting as done in most countries of the world. Their votes would have been making a great difference, and give them a sense of belonging and participation in the affairs of the nation.
