We have observed, with consternation, the unrelenting spate of hate and deliberate falsehood being peddled by some political actors in the state in the guise of campaign, both via conventional and social media platforms. Coming just a few weeks ahead of the 2019 general elections, we find this recent surge particularly worrisome especially given its capacity to breach the peace, and the fact that it persists despite our earlier plea for all parties to be restrained in their utterances.



We are alarmed by the total disregard for truth as evident in certain claims orchestrated by desperate politicians essentially aimed at smearing the reputation of individuals elected on the platform of our great party, the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP). An instance is the recent allegation that local government council chairmen were on the run in order to escape prosecution from the EFCC. Nothing can be further from the truth! It is sheer falsehood fabricated by some desperate actors who are totally bereft of ideas to present to the electorate.

As a campaign organization, we will continue to play by the rules, demonstrate utmost decorum in our conduct and always make our campaign issue-based as espoused by the PDP's standard bearer in the governorship election, His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, Governor of Enugu State, whose ennobling vision and altruistic governance have made Enugu State an envy of all. While reiterating our admonition for all concerned parties to rid their campaign of hate and outright character assassination, we appeal to the discerning Enugu electorate to continue to ignore the cheap blackmail of these desperate politicians. The jeopardy in choosing to engage in a duel with a pit bull is the inevitable circumstance of equally getting soiled in the process. We are nonetheless happy that the good people of Enugu State on whose votes lie the victory of Rt. Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and indeed other candidates of the party in the state know the truth and it will continue to set the state free. Enugu State is in the hands of God!

ENUGU STATE & THE ODDITIES OF ENDORSEMENT BAZAAR:

Its indeed, heart wrenching and very great disservice to Enugu state, that while other states of the federation are commissioning built projects, to palliate & assuage the debilitating nerve wrecking penury within the polity,

Enugu state government, has embarked on a perdition detour of filtering away, our collective patrimony in a jamboree ENDORSEMENT GALORE of a governor, who in the past forty months of his administration, has no major project attributed to him, yet, he wants a second tenure by paying all manner of charlatans to endorse him.

To have opted for a cheap endorsement strategy instead of flaunting his achievements, is a glaring testimony that he has failed as a governor. He has stigmatized governance with sheer lack of road map which is an indispensable prerequisite for a dynamic & robust governance at the expense of NDI ENUGU.

To say that Enugu state has been in the doldrums since the emergence of Gov. Ugwuanyi amounts to over flogging the facts. Its therefore, most unfortunate, repudiating and worrisome that the government of Rt. Hon. Lawrence Ugwuanyi, in the past forty two months, cannot point to any major project or investment stride attributed to him,

What a set back for Enugu state that use to be a pace setter?, the governor is very well known for his big heart & buoyed generosity in given out largess to pals & political fratelli, but governance transcends such a trajectory as its based on vision & not ambition.

Governance is all about vision, creativity & ability to manage people & resources so as to optimize the political dividends for the good of the people, these germain hallmarks are none existent in this government.

His benevolence includes but not limited to doling out money to people at social functions, market places, hospitals & other sundry places instead of deploying same, for infrastructures that could serve a wider perspective.

Government is not & shall never be a father Christmas but unfortunately, that's the sordid state of things in Enugu state. While other states are commissioning major projects & wowing investors into their States,

Enugu state is building culverts & inaugurating pool betting & lotteries among pauperized indigenes, these shows you the level of thinking within the government & the amount of decay inherent in the welfare of NDI ENUGU.

The salient questions are: how many times have you seen Enugu state government showcasing their achievements on the television channels?, never, because they have nothing to show, only waste & profligacy, how many times have you seen Enugu youths & artisans attend empowerment programs both here & outside?,

How many schools have you seen getting facelifts?, how many hospitals have you seen been revitalized?. All You see on the social media & others are propagandry 'G17' & their ENDORSEMENTS therapy, one would therefore ask, when has endorsement become an achievement?,

NDI ENUGU should wake up & take up their destinies in their own hand as eight wasteful years in a life of a state, is a colossal draw back, time to act is now.

The governor has become a PAYMASTER for praise singers. If the governor has performed, he would have leveraged on same for his second tenure, but in the face of his abysmal performances, he's now resorting to all manner of ridiculous tactics including the laughable endorsement scheme, his only achievement so far.

Its therefore very imperative that NDI ENUGU must wake up now to rescue their state or brace up for another wasteful & barren four years while her neighbouring states are on the move.
