Enugu elders under the aegis of Enugu State Development Association (ESDA), said yesterday that it decided to support the second term bid of Governor Ifeanyi Ugwunayi for the continued peace and development of the state.

They stated that allowing the governor to continue in office for another four years beginning from May next year, would further enhance democracy and rotational of political offices embarked upon in the state.

Speaking shortly after their visit to the governor, President of the association, Enechi Onyia, explained that the elders were in solidarity with the views expressed by residents of the state that Ugwuanyi should continue in office.

He said that Ugwuanyi has demonstrated that governance could be easier when there was openness in it, stressing that he had used the last three years to demonstrate that the entire state should have a sense of belonging.

Chief Onyia, who also charged residents of the state to ensure they obtained their voters card, said it was the only weapon they could use to reward good governance and vote out leaders who have failed the state.

Also speaking, a royal father, Abel Nwobodo noted that the governor had endeared himself to the people of the state through his programs and policies, which have impacted positively on the economic life of the state.
