…Extends hand of friendship as fellow contestants congratulate him

Following
his landslide victory at the March 9 governorship election, Governor
Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State and Governor-Elect, has expressed
gratitude to God and thanked the people of the state for their
overwhelming support in renewing his mandate.

This came as a
coalition of governorship candidates in the state led by Gerald Abonyi
of Labour Party (LP), paid him a congratulatory visit at the Government
House, Enugu and declared that they were satisfied with the outcome of
the election.

In his acceptance speech, Gov. Ugwuanyi told the
people of Enugu State that he was “deeply humbled that you have, once
again, invested your trust and faith in our team”, adding that it is now
for him and his deputy and running mate, Mrs. Cecilia Ezeilo “to
continue to work for you”.

Accepting the mandate, the governor
pledged that his administration will devote energies and time to work
harder for the wellbeing and prosperity of the people, stressing that
“we are open to new ideas and new visions, as we continue to lay the
solid foundation for a more prosperous Enugu State”.

According to
him, “I hereby reaffirm that we will continue to serve you with the
fear of God, with humility and an unwavering commitment to improving the
lives of our people and lifting the State to unprecedented heights of
development and progress”.

Gov. Ugwuanyi also expressed gratitude
to President Muhammadu Buhari for “his exemplary leadership and for
providing the enabling environment that ensured the peaceful conduct of
elections in our State”.

He equally saluted the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC) “for a job well done and for
keeping alive the dream of a brighter democracy”, stating that “we are
equally grateful to the Nigerian security agencies and the independent
observers who ensured that we had peaceful processes at the polls”.

To
his fellow party leaders, members and teeming supporters, Gov. Ugwuanyi
thanked them for “the wonderful job that you all did”, saying: “I am
very proud of your contributions”.

His words: “This victory does
not belong to me alone. It belongs to Ndi Enugu – our political leaders
and other stakeholders irrespective of party affiliations; the market
men and women, the barrow pushers, taxi and commercial bus drivers,
Okada and Keke riders, petty traders, other artisans, town union and
community leaders, the clergy, our revered traditional rulers, civil
servants, the farmers, the professional class, youth and women groups,
students and others who are the true heroes of our democracy.

“In
truth, the victory is not a winner-takes-all. In our spirit of
brotherhood, everyone is a winner. Therefore, I reach out my hand of
friendship and partnership to my fellow contestants. I invite all of you
to join hands with me so that together, we shall build a better Enugu
State, to the glory of God.

“Now is the time to get back to work.
We are inspired by the sacrifices and support of our people in renewing
our mandate. I am confident that by the special grace of God and with
your continuing cooperation and prayers, all things concerning Enugu
State will continue to end in praise”.

Enugu State is truly in the hands of God! #amokelouis
