There is this ugly trend where cronies of Ekweremadu mischievously peddle fake news on social media in a failed attempt to mislead Ndi Enugu and the general public, for the selfless and unpopular political ambition of their pay master, in 2023.
The latest of these shenanigans was the false publication on social media alleging that Gov. Ugwuanyi was planning to defect to APC.
They equally alleged that the governor in a spurious statement said that if the wishes of Ndi Enugu as he was seeing was Ekweremadu, that he had no option than to support him.
These are false and baseless claims being peddled by the camp of Ekweremadu to deceive the public.
They have tried similar outdated campaign of calumny against the governor, on several occasions in recent times, but failed woefully because Ndi Enugu know their ulterior motive, and always identify with the truth.
From our investigations, the above stories are fake news as Gov. Ugwuanyi has no plan to leave PDP, the party he has laboured tirelessly to build and reform, both at the state and national levels.
He is one of the PDP Governors who believe in the ideology of the party and had in many occasions worked closely with his colleagues in building and rescuing the party in the overall interest of Nigerians.
Ugwuanyi is a man of peace and an apostle of equitable zoning.
We are optimistic, likewise Ndi Enugu, that in 2023, he will support a successor whose emergency will follow the trend established and maintained since 1999 between the three senatorial zones, which favours Enugu East Senatorial District to produce the next governor of the state.
The wishes of Ndi Enugu is respect for zoning and Gov Ugwuanyi will surely adhere to it.
