“We are all living witnesses to what Ugwuanyi attracted to his Federal Constituency while serving at the lower Chamber of the Nigera’s National Assembly (NAS) House of Representatives, and now as a governor. He has proved himself to be a good manager.
“It is against the background of the governor’s antecedents that even our brothers in opposition parties agreed to join hands in forming a coalition to drum support for his Senatorial Ambition ahead of 2023.
“Without sounding immodest, governor Ugwuanyi, is a nice product, which every consumer in Enugu North Senatorial district would want to patronize because of his quality, and we are urging the Electorate in the zone to key into the product.

“Our support for Abba, is also hinged on his antecedents. While in office as Enugu State PDP Chairman and Ex-Pro Chancellor of the University of Port Harcourt, Rivers state, he proved himself as a seasoned Administrator, while occupying those offices.
“As voters and canvassers, we are going to ensure that we deliver governor Ugwuanyi and Engr. Abba in all the respective polling units in Enugu North Senatorial district during the 2023 elections.”
