  The beautiful children of Enugu State have composed an emotional tribute to Rt. Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi as his tenure gradually comes to an end as the Governor of Enugu state. In a one minute and fifty five seconds video that is currently trending online, two brilliant kids could be heard questioning each other on what their fate would be, when Ugwuanyi eventually leaves office in 2023. The two smart kids ended their tribute by saying; Barr. Peter Ndubisi Mbah is the only one they have confidence in, that can sustain the current energy, peace and development in Enugu State. In their words; "As his Excellency, Rt. Hon. Dr. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi's uncommon leadership style gradually comes to an end in office in 2023 and as it ushers in a new political dispensation, we are moved to ask; "Who will give us unfiltered access to Enugu Government house and guarantee a sense of belonging for Ndi Enugu like Governor Ugwuanyi has given  in the last seven years?"

I read with great concern the write-up ascribed to Ohaneze Youths about Ugwuanyi not lending his full support to the struggle for 2023 Igbo Presidency. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi has had to endure a barrage of unfair attacks, but I really think this is the most unjustified. Is it the same Ugwuanyi that has participated and represented the interest of the South-East in all the meetings convened by Southern Governors towards the actualisation of a President of Southern origin? Is it the same Ugwuanyi that kept faith in the forum of Southern Governors even when other Igbo Governors disappeared from the scene? Ugwuanyi was in Lagos and Delta and then hosted the meeting himself. Can people be more unfair to one man? I have enormous respect for Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi: he is calm, collected, solid and politically savvy. When he is attacked I feel personally pained. I know this is a man who would always want the best for his people. In January 2022 when Ugwuanyi hosted some Igbo-Haitians who had traced their ...
