Governorship: Time to pay you back, timber dealers tell Ugwuanyi

Timber dealers at Kenyatta Market, Enugu yesterday promised to vote massively for Enugu State Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi in next week’s governorship election.

The traders, whose sheds were gutted by fire on March 5, 2018, recalled how Gov. Ugwuanyi,  the governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), wiped away their tears by rebuilding their burnt shops and providing each of them with the sum of N100,000 as grant to re-establish their businesses.

The traders told him that they will pay him back with their massive votes at the polls.

Gov. Ugwuanyi and PDP train were at the Kenyatta Market, and other markets in Enugu, such as Eke Otu in Amechi-Awkunanaw, Garki, and Coal Camp, in continuation of their intense door-to-door campaign ahead of the March 9 governorship and state assembly elections canvassing vigorously for votes.

The governor told the jubilant and excited traders and supporters to take the message that “PDP is the way to go” to their families and neighbourhood, stressing that “a vote for Gburugburu is a vote for all the candidates of the PDP in Enugu State”.
