A former Enugu North Senatorial Aspirant, Hon. Chinedu Paul Eya has penned an emotional letter to the executive governor of Enugu State, Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, while urging the governor to be fair to all the zones of the state in his distribution of political offices.
Eya who commended the governor following his recent appointments of individuals with competence to help him in driving the wheels of governance, explained that caution should be applied in the distribution of power to avoid resentments and disaffection among followers.
Excerpts from the letter which has already been sent to Government House reads: “While I like to commend you for your recent appointments of competent and intellectual mobile hands into your Government, I admit that the zonal spread of the key positions should have been handled differently as no zone should be seen as having more appointees against another zone, as this would bring about disaffection and distrust to your Government.
“Over the past few days, following your recent appointments of Chief of Staff, SPAs, SSAs, and SAs, we have watched verbal wars erupt among various persons in our dears zone, questioning their perceived lopsidedness in your recent approval of appointees.
“I have also witnessed firsthand how some people who believe they contributed immeasurably to your emergence during the last election have been mocked and called names for standing up for you during the elections, following the announcement of the list
“I would like to hereby make a passionate plea to you, Your Excellency, Sir. As we prepare to receive another round of appointees into your Government, I submit that you spread these positions across LGAs and zones of Enugu State, so as to give every Tom, Dick, and Harry, a fair and just sense of belonging as no region or zone can boast of having a monopoly of competent and qualified individuals in the state than the others.
“My name is Chinedu Eya. I am a Businessman and politician. I have spent most of my life in this great state, and I have been a crusader for a better society for many years and still counting. I have also tried in my little way to touch lives, especially the lives of our youths in different ways, especially in creating job opportunities for them and in the area of empowerment.
“Your Excellency, I have equally had the privilege of Aspiring to represent my Senatorial District, Enugu North Senatorial zone to be precise in the red chamber in 2019, following my quest to have a better platform through which I will speak, defend and advance the course of people of my Senatorial District, but without results.
“Thank you, Mr. Governor, for your kind attention. As we all look forward to a very prosperous Enugu state under your charge, please be assured of my kind regards and best wishes;” the letter read.
