The people of Eha-Alumona in Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu State have reiterated their confidence and sincere gratitude to Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi for his commitment to their wellbeing especially his administration’s intervention in their roads that were hitherto abandoned for over 50 years by successive administrations.
In a communiqué signed by the stakeholders of Eha-Alumona including the youth, the people of the community hailed the governor for what they described as his intervention in the building of Eha-Ndiagu road “after many years of dilapidation and abandonment by successive governments.”
The signatories to the communiqué include the member representing Nsukka East Constituency, Dr Chinedu Nwamba, Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Miletus Eze; Chairman, Enugu State Internal Revenue Service, Prince Emeka Od, General Manager, Enugu State Structures for Signage and Advertisement Agency (ENSSAA), Ike Ezugwu, General Manager, Enugu State Tourism Board, Chief Steve Odo; Rodrick Ugwu; Chief Ugochuku Ugwunnadi; Prof. Ignatius Madu; and Roy Ekwueme of Nsukka Youths General Assembly.
Others include Mr. Cornelius Ogbonna; Kingsley Ugwu; Chief Pius Ugwunnadi (PG); Prince Ibeamaka Odo; Mr. Paulinus Ossai; Presidents-General (PGs) of the town unions and the councilors of the three wards in Eha-Alumona, namely; Eha-Ulo, Eha-Ndiagu and Agbamere Umabor, among others.
The people of Eha-Alumona, comprising elders, clergymen, stakeholders, youths and six traditional rulers had paid a thank-you visit to Ugwuanyi at the Government House, Enugu, in recognition of the infrastructural projects his administration has executed in their community, stressing that no past administration did what the governor has done for them, in the last five decades.
The Eha-Alumona people debunked a communiqué purportedly issued by “some faceless people who claimed to be youths of Eha-Alumona” alleging neglect of the community and threatened to ban political activities in the area.
The people of Eha-Alumona stressed that the said communiqué “did not emanate from Eha-Alumona youths or any other body in Eha-Alumona.”
The people said that “the faceless person or persons who issued the communiqué used the age-long desire of Eha-Alumona people for the complete reconstruction of Eha-Ndiagu road as a foot mat for the communiqué.”
Expressing confidence in Ugwuanyi’s commitment to work on the Eha-Ndiagu road, the Eha-Alumona people said: “Our stakeholders who have been interfacing with the governor on the said road have assured us that His Excellency will intervene on the road before the end of his tenure. We do not have any reason to doubt them.”
The people of Eha-Alumona, therefore, apologised to “the Government of Enugu State and all political parties in the country for the embarrassment the faceless communiqué might have caused them”, maintaining that “Eha-Alumona remains open and unbiased towards political activities within the ambit of the law.”
They praised their stakeholders, youths and all concerned persons “for their quick intervention and peaceful conduct throughout the unfortunate incident.”
