It has become imperative that I call the attention of the public to the surreptitious plot by certain desperate politicians in Enugu State to launch unwarranted campaign of calumny against the present administration aimed at undermining the existing peace and good governance in the state for their selfish and unpopular political ambition ahead of 2023.

It is common knowledge that at the end of every administration in Enugu State, these set of desperate politicians resort to blackmail, lies, brazen falsehood and all sorts of smear campaign against the government in power through sponsorship of unfounded and mischievous opinion articles in the national dailies and social media platforms.

As we approach the end of this present peaceful, development and people-oriented administration in Enugu State, these political elements have been approaching me and my colleagues with mischievous and fictitious trumped-up articles, requesting us to deploy our social media platforms to cast aspersions on the government.

I am aware that they have also enlisted the services of some media consultants and executives in Lagos and equally induced them with huge resources to execute their evil plot, as they did during the end of the past administration of Sullivan Chime, ahead of the 2015 general elections.

This alarm has become necessary in view of the pressure being mounted on us by these desperate politicians to accede to their selfish request, which we have rejected based on our conviction that their plot is immoral, ungodly, and mischievous, as the allegations raised against the government were untrue and a clear case of political vendetta.

The ulterior motive of the major sponsor of the smear campaign, a self-styled “powerful” Abuja-based politician who has in his usual stock in trade displayed similar crass desperation in the build-up to the 2015 general elections, is well known by the discerning members of the public.

These detractors are obviously unhappy with the cherished peace and security being enjoyed in Enugu State today, the unprecedented achievements of the present administration in spite of all the numerous challenges it has encountered since its inception in 2015, and the enviable goodwill and solidarity the government enjoys from the people of the state and beyond.

It is on record that no past administration in Enugu State experienced one quarter of the avalanche of challenges this present administration has encountered since 2015, which border on the nation’s harsh economy, security and public health challenges.

More worrisome is the inconsistency in the allegations being fabricated by these detractors, which are at variance with the verdicts of several reputable institutions and organizations on the Enugu State government’s performance and prudent management of the state’s meager resources for development issues and wellbeing of the people.

These verdicts on the state government by institutions and organizations, according to records, include the Organized Labour (regular payment of N30,000 new minimum wage, pensions, other welfare packages and most labour-friendly governor in Nigeria award), World Bank Group (second most advanced state in Nigeria on the Ease of Doing Business), BudgIT (among the three most viable states in Nigeria) and the Economic Confidential (among the six (6) economically viable states in Nigeria that can survive without federal allocations) etc.

One wonders why some people would attempt to undermine these laudable feats, which include massive infrastructural development such as the ongoing construction of the first Enugu State government’s flyover bridge; quality and affordable healthcare delivery and the ongoing massive construction works at the permanent site of ESUT Teaching Hospital and College of Medicine, Igbo-Eno; mass recruitment of teachers and transformation of the education sector; employment generation and youth empowerment vis-à-vis ICT innovation; rural development; grassroots sports development and investment promotion, among others.

We therefore call on the public to be wary of such mischievous publications and know that they are the handiwork of mischief makers and enemies of peace and good OPINIONVictor Chigozie Eneh: Enugu 2023: The detractors are at it again, public bewaregovernance in Enugu State.

It is our candid advice that those behind these untoward acts should channel their energy and resources to useful engagements that would add value to the development of Enugu State especially at this critical time the country is witnessing a lot of economic, security and public health challenges.

The writer is one of the problems of the Enugu administration. Majority of the people of Enugu are not happy with this government and the governor and his appointees should pay attention to know why the people are not happy instead of blaming imaginary enemies. Ugwuanyi is not doing well. Hoha!
Roads in Enugu are a shadow of themselves.
Earlier this year ndị Enugu cried that they lacked water during the dry season and trended a hashtag on Twitter. The government and it's people called it campaign of calumny and promised to do this and that. It's almost another dry season the Enugu water corporation is yet to start supplying water as they should when we complain, they will call it sponsored campaign of calumny.
Pensioners ain't paid as and when due, this government no dey pay gratuity at all. ETC yet you want people not to complain?
You are building a new ESUT Teaching hospital when there is a good and more accessible one that you starve of the necessary items that a hospital should have just because you want to take a part of the University to your Nsukka people. Go to parklane and see that ordinary plaster a whole teaching hospital go dey talk day dem no get am.

Don’t mind them.

One thing that surprises me is that everything about Ugwuanyi always hit front page on Nairaland even without comment.

Which goes to tell how much resources Ugwuanyi has deployed towards buying up media spaces.

Everybody in Enugu knows Ugwuanyi is a madam except his paid media warriors.


Meanwhile, Ekweremadu should go and rest. It is the turn of Enugu East to produce governor in 2023 and no amount of campaign of calumny can change that.

Okeyson02:
Non sense and stupid political miscreants, only active on social media. Tell us what your hopeless Governor has done to our State as Governor? Ugwuanyi the Governor despite the fact that our Enugu allocation is far bigger than Ebonyi ,yet what Umahi has done , your fat Governor doesn't have up to 10% of it.
For instance; Umahi has constructed over 15 standard modern flyover in Ebonyi without much noise while your paid Governor is still struggling to complete only one in T Junction Abakpa.
The most annoying aspect of it was that he describe it as the first flyover in Enugu state. The most unfortunate thing to have happened in Enugu State is to have him as the Governor. He had grabbed all the empty land in Enugu State. The only Governor in Southeast that doesn't have any Capital Project at hand throughout his tenure. Only busy paying people like Op to be pushing nonsense on social media. The street light we have in Enugu was installed by Sullivan most of them have spoiled yet Ugwuanyi could not fix it.

I will like to know the special thing or achievement we the Enugu people have enjoyed as a result of his leadership. If I'm to post the structures of The Community Secondary School in my Community here you all will be shocked. Should we talk of hospital ? Is it the market? I went to International Market Abakiliki ; I swear I respect Umahi , Can we say same to Enugu? Can anyone tell me any market that Ugwuanyi gave new face in Enugu? Do we need to talk of road ? Abeg that man is misfortune to our dear State.
Only looking for whom to blame for his inadequate or shambles performance.
