…endorse Uche Edeh for LG chairman
From Jude Chinedu, Enugu
The people of Enugu South Local Government Area on Wednesday gathered in their thousands to show support to the administration of Governor Peter Mbah for his innovative policies and ideas which have transformed the state.
The group which was made up of indigenes and non-indigenes residing in the council area, said that Gov. Mbah’s initiative to build a world class city, the new Enugu City proved that people of Enugu State took the right decision by electing him as governor of the state.
The residents who gathered under the Advocates for Inclusive Governance in Enugu South, unanimously pleaded with the governor to choose, Uche Edeh as the caretaker committee chairman of Enugu South Local Government Council.
They argued that Uche Edeh posseses all the qualities needed for the role, adding that he was capable of replicating the disruptive innovation mantra of Gov Mbah at the local government level.
The group made this commendation in a 12-paragraph communique signed by the Chairman, Benjamin Nsude and Secretary, Onyi Odibe and made available to newsmen at the end of their monthly general meeting held on Wednesday.
“We have noted with pride the aggressive and unprecedented work going on across the state by the administration of His Excellency Dr Peter Mbah and we want to use this opportunity to express our deepest appreciation and support for his disruptive innovation agenda and life changing policies since his inauguration as the governor of Enugu State.
The group, however, threw their weight behind Uche Edeh as the best candidate to lead Enugu South Local Government Area as Caretaker Committee Chairman.
“We have taken our time to search, scrutinize and evaluate the capabilities, personalities and leadership prowess of all the interested candidates for the local government Chairman of Enugu South Local Government Area.
“We have resolved that Uche Kelvin Edeh will make the best local government Chairman and in line with your disruptive innovation in the state, Uche Kelvin Edeh remains the best candidate to replicate your Tomorrow is here agenda in the local government area, judging from his wide range of knowledge and expertise.
“As a tech guru and renowned digital entrepreneur cum his integrity and strict adherence to doing the right thing, he is the only candidate capable of bringing smart infrastructural development, massive digital skills and empowerment to our youth in line with modern realities.
“That we are saying, even though his original intentions was to contest for the forthcoming local government election, we are appealing to you his Excellency, the executive governor of Enugu state to understand the yearning of the people of Enugu South Local Government Area and give us Uche Kelvin Edeh as the Caretaker Committee Chairman of Enugu South Local Government Area.
“By doing so, it will be the best means to test his capabilities and for us to prove to you and everyone that we have not made mistakes in our long search for a better candidate and a better Enugu South Local Government Area,” the communique reads.
