Ugwuanyi to look the way of Enugu East Senatorial zone in the choice of his successor.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, \u201cI am not speaking as a politician; I speak as a traditional ruler, as a father to all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis throne wields very strong authority that has spanned generations. Issues pertaining to me are often more spiritual; therefore, this interview is somehow spiritual and information I give today is not just mine, but what I think and how best it will please the gods and God Almighty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Igwe Igwesi said he would not sit by and watch sons and daughters of the State engage in needless political fight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am authorized to speak as a traditional ruler because the politics of Nkanu land is by all permutations the politics of this throne.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a royal father, I think it\u2019s timely I make this appeal to politicians and my people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll those concerned are my own persons. Those in Enugu North are my brothers, and true Enugu State indigenes. The same with the Enugu West. We, Nkanu people, are asking for a chance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know if there was any written agreement but it is implied that there is already a running agreement. It might not have been written; but every agreement must not be written.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving watched the transition from Chimaroke, (East) to Sullivan (West) and Ugwuanyi (North), common sense does provide that at this time, Enugu East should start all over again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is important that we make this emphasis to ensure peaceful continuity in our leadership in Enugu State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything good thrives under a peaceful atmosphere. And that is why I am making this passionate appeal to our brothers from West and North. Please, I beg as a father; let us allow a peaceful handover of the baton of governance to Enugu East. We consider it as a zoning pattern.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGood things don\u2019t end with governorship of a State. If by this zoning pattern you are in any way not fitted to go in for that position, my appeal is that you look around for any other convenient position, for peace to reign.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI call on everybody to garner support for the people of Nkanu East, as a Local Government to produce the next governor. I appeal to Governor Ugwuanyi to consider this particular proposal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet him anoint somebody from Nkanu East LGA as the next governor of Enugu State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI say this because of some obvious reasons. I have come to realize that Nkanu East looks like an abandoned area. There is need for sufficient government presence to be felt in Nkanu East.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince all these years, they were ignored and neglected; why don\u2019t we give them this chance?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
