KINSMEN to former Governor Sullivan Chime of Enugu state under the aegis of Umuneke Udi leaders of Thought and Stakeholders have alleged that rather than benefiting from Chime’s government, the clan experienced retrogression. Arising from Stakeholders and Leaders of Thought of Umuneke Udi at Eke Udi square, the amalgamation of communities in Udi south state constituency, said they have however found succor in the present administration of Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi
In a communiqué after the meeting signed by Chief Sam Aneke and Emeka Aneke the stakeholders of Umuneke-Udi also washed their hands off any case the former governor is facing at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, and asked him to dance to the anti-graft music. When contacted, ex-Governor Chime alleged the people were being sponsored by the deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, and described them as rabble rousers.
One of the stakeholders, Emeka Aneke said “This is Eke Udi square and you can smell the aura of development here, if there was one in those eight years of Sullivan Chime. We had our hopes and expectations dashed. We now look forward to the government of the day. Ugwuanyi has given us hope of inclusive government after 8 years of wasted development.” Another stakeholder in the group and a former member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Garry Eneh said: “We express support to Governor Ugwuanyi because he has done well within the past two years. “We also express support to the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu who has empowered our people and also to Hon. Dennis Amadi of the House of Representatives. “Unfortunately, we lost out under Sullivan Chime. It’s a shame that we don’t have any bank in the communities of Umuneke Udi. He spent 8 years in PDP and he never knew his ward chairman. “What is he going to do in APC? If he had done well, we would have followed him. Ugwuanyi has given him all the respect and should not bother wherever Chime is headed to.” The meeting unanimously passed a vote of confidence on Governor Ugwuanyi, Ekweremadu and the member representing Udi/Ezeagu federal constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Dennis Amadi for the good job they are doing for the people of Enugu State.
