Gov. Ugwuanyi & Rev. Fr. Mbaka. |
Enugu State Governor, Rt. Hon Ifeanyi
Ugwuanyi has said that the only way to change the circumstances of Nigeria was
for political and religious leaders across all layers of government and
religious divides to be exemplary in their responsibilities to their followers.
Ugwuanyi, who spoke at a thanksgiving service
held at the Adoration Ministry of Enugu, Nigeria to mark the recent Supreme
Court judgment affirming his victory in the 2015 governorship elections in
Enugu State, said that it is only by living by examples worthy of emulation
that leaders can effectively mobilize the people for peace and development.
The Governor restated his commitment to
exemplary leadership anchored on inclusiveness and transparency and noted that
although the demands of leadership may be overwhelming especially in a challenged
society like Nigeria, leaders will accomplish a lot more if they deliberately
and positively mobilize the energy of the people towards a clearly defined
goal.
“I am here to thank and appreciate God
because He alone provides the inspiration and motivation that has enabled us
achieve what we have achieved so far. When we came into government, our goal
was to ensure that our impact is felt by the people long after we had left
office. I am happy that with the prayers of each and every one of us here, we are
achieving what we have set out to achieve.
While inviting those that went to court to challenge his 2015
election victory to join hands with his government to uplift the State to
enviable heights, the Governor also expressed his gratitude to the Ministry for
its support and unceasing prayers for the success of his administration, noting
that it was as a result of God's mercies and special grace that the victory at
the Supreme Court was achieved.
He called on the people
to sustain their prayers, especially as the 2019 elections gathers momentum and
promised to sustain the tempo of infrastructure development in all parts of the
state, should his mandate be renewed by the people come 2019.
Earlier in during his Homily, the Spiritual
Director of Adoration Ministry Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka extolled the virtues of
leadership of Governor Ugwuanyi and pleaded the continued support and prayers
of his Ministry towards ensuring greater success of the administration in the
state.
Fr. Mbaka described Gov. Ugwuanyi as exemplary, especially in
the inclusiveness of his government and the judicious way he has managed the
resources of the state at a time of national economic slide.
The cleric described the
Governor as an outstanding leader with the welfare of the people at heart and
noted that Enugu State has not experienced the kind of peace as is the case
under the current government.
“Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi is the
only governor that never toyed with the welfare of workers. paying salaries as
and when due. This is happening at a time most states are so strained by the
recent deadlock in distribution of federal allocation that that could not pay
salaries,” Fr Mbaka stated
He also commended the
governor for the prevailing atmosphere of peace and security in the state and
said such was only possible because the governor was committed to the good of
the ordinary citizen as well as the prosperity of the state.
