….Dissociates Itself From Purported Malicious Publication
Ahead of 2023 General Elections, Forum of 2019 Enugu Governorship Candidates (FEGC’19) has raised alarm over a grand plot to tarnish the image of Enugu State Governor, Rt. Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.
The group raised the alarm in response to a recent publication purported to have emanated from them and tagged: “Call your Loyalists to Order, Ex-Governorship candidates urge Ugwuanyi” which urged the governor to call his loyalists to order, not to harass and intimidate people with divergent political views in the state.
Insisting that the publication did not in any way represent the views of its members, the forum said those making such futile attempt to link or attribute violence and thuggery to the Governor and his loyalists needed psychologically examination.
“2023 is gradually approaching and the enemies are envious of the successes recorded by our well-performing Governor. Hence their frantic efforts to discredit him by spreading falsehood,” the statement issued in Enugu and signed by the coordinator of the forum, Hon. Obioma Nnamani alongside other 21 members of the group read.
“We want to state it clearly that the publication did not emanate from the 2019 Governorship Candidates and does not in any way represent the views of our members.
“Those who are trying so hard in their futile attempt to link or attribute violence and thuggery to our dear Governor and /or his loyalists need to be psychologically examined.
They are obviously boxing the air by trying to discredit the Governor’s outstanding leadership qualities.
“Our Forum members deeply appreciates the quality of leadership provided by His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Dr. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi in Enugu State which has brought peace and development to our dear State.
“Not only that we unanimously and overwhelmingly supported our indefatigable governor of Enugu State during the last Governorship election, we have also continued to unapologetically support his government and administration given his numerous achievements and humane disposition towards the good people of Enugu State.”
Other members of the forum who signed the statement include Dr. Gerald Abonyi Esq,
Hon. Dr. Afam Ani, Hon. Engr. Chinedu Anuche, Chief Mrs. Anthonia Nwobodo, Hon. Christopher Ogbu, Dr. Mrs Nnenna Anozie Esq, Barr. Osita Agu, Hon. Chigozie Okonkwo, Hon. Robinson Chukwuemeka, Rev. Chukwuka Ibekwe, Mrs Maureen Onwuta, Hon. Amadi Eusebius.
