The people of Oji-River in Enugu State have passed a vote-of-confidence on Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi’s leadership resourcefulness in the entire Enugu State.

This was contained in a communiqué made available to the our correspondent in Enugu on Saturday at the end of an extra-ordinary stakeholders’ meeting held on April 23 in the council area.

It noted that the people, especially the political and community leaders of Oji-River Local Government Area (LGA), are standing behind Ugwuanyi’s leadership style that had engendered peace and development in the state.

The communiqué also said that the people resolved in the meeting to support whoever Ugwuanyi wishes to support, not minding where the person comes from during the 2023 polls.

The statement reads: “That the good people and leaders of Oji-River LGA passed a vote-of-confidence on Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, locally known as Nwannedinamba I of Oji-River for his leadership ingenuity.

“That the stakeholders and the good people of Oji-River affirm Gov. Ugwuanyi, the Executive Governor of Enugu State, as the leader of our great party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

It said that the meeting ended with chants of solidarity for the prevailing peace in the state and Oji-River as well as praise songs for “Enugu State being in the Hands of God’’.

Notable leaders in attendance included: Sen. Hyde Onuaguluchi, Dr. Anayo Ọnwụegbu, Dr. Eric Oluedo, Chief Gab Onuzulike, Council Chairman Frank Udemezue and member representing Oji-River Constituency in Enugu State House of Assembly, Chief Jeff Mbah.
