Of note and interest is the fact that niether Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi or his media aides have been joining issues with the hired social media e-rats that have been peddling lies and falsehoods since the conclusion of the PDP primaries in the state. Niether Governor Ugwuanyi nor his aides have been distracted or perturbed by the diatribes of these social media hirelings from Enugu North Senatorial zone.
While Governor Ugwuanyi has remained focused and preoccupied with the good governance he has been providing for the people in the face of enormous challenges, his media handlers have been positioning, promoting and marketing his good works and giant strides in government that are everywhere. The Enugu people who are happy and appreciative of Governor Ugwuanyi’s sterling performance in office have on their own taken the battle of defending Governor Ugwuanyi on social media platforms against these sponsored social media hirelings from Enugu North Senatorial zone.
It is not surprising reading a shared article with the above headline penned with one fake name- Eugene Ike Omeje by the Labour Party social media hirelings from Nsukka axis trying to run down Governor Ugwuanyi and his media handlers as usual.
As expected, a majority of the sponsored social media e-rats from Nsukka operating with different fake names, are bulk of failed journalists and politicians who have lobbied for appointments in Governor Ugwuanyi, but couldn’t get it.
It is obvious that their grouses against Governor Ugwuanyi are many and personal. None has anything to do with good governance or performance in office which Governor Ugwuanyi has done extremely well, especially for his Nsukka people that he has provided with many infrastructure and human empowerment.
It is all about the selfish interests and personal agendas of these bunch of hypocritical elites from Enugu North Senatorial zone, who are jealous and envious of Governor Ugwuanyi’s rising political profile.
It is very ridiculing and indicting of the fake writer-Eugene Ike Omeje to attribute the failure of these Enugu North zone hypocritical elites, which include Senator Chukwuka Utazi to Governor Ugwuanyi, without stating how.
Why blaming Governor Ugwuanyi for Senator Utazi’s lackluster performance in the Senate? Did Governor Ugwuanyi stop Senator Utazi from attracting projects to the zone or carrying out his constituency projects?
Alleging that Governor Ugwuanyi stopped Senator Utazi from providing democracy dividends to the people of his zone is unfounded, unbelievable, puerile and lie from the pit of hell. It is a fairytale and joke taken too far. It is an insult to the sensibilities of the people of Enugu North Senatorial zone that Senator Utazi represents.
Governor Ugwuanyi was and is never an impediment to Senator Utazi. I can remember hearing or reading anywhere before now Senator Utazi’s complaints or outcry that Governor Ugwuanyi has been or is his obstacle. Why is the fake writer raising the false allegation now?
Is it to attract undue sympathy to the outgoing senator, Utazi who is not happy with Governor Ugwuanyi for not supporting his third term senatorial ambition or compensate him with deputy governorship position?
Apart from Senator Utazi, how is Governor Ugwuanyi responsible for the failure in public offices of other hypocritical political elites of Nsukka extraction who have been in successive governments before Governor Ugwuanyi’s entry into politics without attracting or executing any single project in their communities, not to talk about Nsukka community in general?
Please can anyone explain how these last minute political stunts, flimsy excuses and blame games of these failed Nsukka politicians and their social media e-rats can be swallowed hook, liner and sinker by the good of people of Enugu State and Nsukka in particular?
The hired fake writer- erred and exposed his ignorance and hypocrisy and that of his sponsors as well in this baseless write-up. This is what you get when one points one finger at someone, forgetting that the other four are being pointed at him or her.
Unfortunately, these few failed and hypocritical Nsukka elites are the same people that have been speaking of Governor Ugwuanyi in glowing terms since he came into office, only to turn overnight to traducers immediately after the PDP primaries. Why? What went wrong?
Governor Ugwuanyi is a kindhearted and good man. He is niether a sadist nor a narcissist as alleged by the fictious writer in his writing. He has been a promoter and ardent believer in human empowerment. He has made many people and still making “nobody” “somebody”.
Governor Ugwuanyi is not regretful of supporting the candidature of Bar. Peter Mbah and Senator Chimaroke Nnamani. He is not and will never be. Governor Ugwuanyi has told anyone who cares to listen in public or private that by God’s grace Mr. Peter Mbah is the next Governor of Enugu state.
This is why since the emergence of Mbah, Governor Ugwuanyi has not left any stone unturned in canvassing and soliciting massive support for him and other PDP candidates.
Governor Ugwuanyi will not leave any PDP candidate alone or behind in his campaign for votes for the party. Governor Ugwuanyi as the leader of PDP in Southeast region and a symbol of the PDP beyond Enugu and Nsukka. No amount of sponsored and armchair social media criticisms will distract Governor Ugwuanyi from focusing and providing good governance for Ndi Enugu.
What is of utmost importance is the exposition of those behind the sponsored attacks and fights against Governor Ugwuanyi and their ulterior motives that will never come to pass. Enugu people are wise and politically savvy.
