THOUSANDS of Enugu State indigenes who reside and registered with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), in Kogi State have transferred their voter’s cards to Enugu to enable them vote for Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi in the forthcoming governorship election. They promised not only to return home during the forthcoming elections to vote massively for Governor Ugwuanyi but also to mobilise their relations and other dependants to equally vote for the governor, expressing delight that he has attracted development to their various communities. Presenting their stance, the leader of the delegation and President of the ‘Association of Enugu State Indigenes’ in Kogi State, Chief Joseph Anikwe, stated that members of the group were impressed with “the prevailing atmosphere of peace, tranquillity and progress in our dear Enugu State. The Enugu indigenes equally commended Governor Ugwuanyi for effective and efficient management of the state’s meagre resources to undertake massive infrastructural development in every nook and cranny of the state. Ugwuanyi, who thanked the State’s indigenes for the solidarity visit and support, described them as worthy ambassadors of Enugu State and urged them to continue to pray for the success of the state and his administration.
