Enugu State since it’s creation in August 25th 1991 has been known for peaceful conduct of the elections. To the credit of the current administration of His Excellency Dr. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, the peace and security which Enugu has been known for has been sustained. Under his watch, Enugu State has maintained political stability which is a necessary pre-condition for any state to thrive economically.
As Ndi Enugu prepare to recruit the next crop of leaders, it is imperative we examine the vision of our founding fathers. For it said that “a people that do not know their history have lost their Identity” .The vision of our founding fathers was to have a State that is “politically stable” and “economically viable”.

By so doing, he has paved way for the next Governor to grow the economy of the state; for where there is political stability there is economic viability.
At this critical point in our history, when our economy is taking a beating, we need a leader with an understanding of the current economic realities; who has a blueprint based on sound political economic policies to set the trajectory of Enugu State economy on the path of sustainable growth.
