actually brought everybody together in peace. Speaking at the event, the

Ugwuanyi of Enugu State as a governor whose leadership knows no boundary.
He said that Ugwuanyi does not discriminate among political
parties because he treats everybody equally. Nwodo who was the chairman of the
occasion, said that Ugwuanyi would not say because one is not a member of his
political party and for this reason will discriminate against him to deny him
his due.

people of the state and this has brought peace to the state. “Ugwuanyi has no
boundary. We have never had such love that exists in Enugu State today,” he
