Governor Sullivan Chime of Enugu State has expressed confidence that the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi will eventually perform better than him if voted into power.
Chime made the assertion at the PDP Campaign rally held at Agbani, the headquarters of Nkanu West Local Government Area of the State.
The Governor, who was elated by the large number of supporters at the rally, noted that there is no Godfather in Enugu State as far as PDP was concerned, adding that it was because of the sterling leadership qualities of Ugwuanyi and his endearing popularity in the State that some political parties could not field candidates for the governorship election. He also stated that those political parties that fielded candidates for the governorship contest don’t have the courage to campaign.
His words: “My administration is coming to an end. In the next three months, I will excitedly handover to the incoming Governor, Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi by God’s grace. My successor will perform more than me. He has the qualities to lead. There is no Godfather in Enugu State. PDP is our Godfather in Enugu State because the party produces our candidates. Ugwuanyi is so popular that even other parties could not produce their candidates for the governorship contest.”
The Governor, who also campaigned for the re-election of President Goodluck Jonathan and other candidates of the PDP in the area, told the people that PDP members who left the party to contest elections in the opposition parties after losing out in the primaries were not genuine members of the Party and should not be taken seriously.
In his speech, the governorship candidate of the party, Hon Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi assured the people of Nkanu land of his commitment to their welfare and developmental needs and urges them to continue to support and vote PDP in all the elections.
