To be frank, Nsukka people no try at all. This man deserves to represent them in the Senate...he really placed them first in his administration.

He worked for them. Anyways, Obi scattered his plans, the wave swept him.

How can you people justify governors retiring in the senate. Having served for 8 years, others should be allowed to serve the state as well
If it greed and selfish interest, will they go to the senate if it were free?

The man chop state money alone. He must vomit it soonest

If Gov. Ugeuanyi did these things listed here during his tenure then he tried and deserves commendation....I just hope it not plain propaganda.
I am impressed in his performance in Techhubs, Higher Education, bursary for law students (should be extended to other courses too), educational support to Engineering students, foreign scholarship for post graduate students, health sector, tourism especially renovating Dr. Zik's house, patronizing IVM and generally being a calm&peaceful governor.

However, I think he performed poorly in agriculture considering Enugu states potentials, general security, city beautification&tourism considering the huge potentials of the state, Media& Entertainment industry considering the state past records& potentials and social cultural development as the capital of Eastern Nigeria, industrial capacity &other commercial repositioning.
He also failed to improve in modern transportation system, IGR& stimulate economic growth.
Finally land ownership system seems to be a big faulty issue in his government...this leadership failed to set aside land reserves for nature&the future use.

It also seems he focused more on his Nsukka zone to the detriment of other zones and relied a lot on political praise singers he didn't allow him see the true picture of things.


He failed to think outside the box& initiate spectacular, big&modern infrastructural projects...these days the people want leaders who will deliver well thought of , viable and spectacular modern infrastructural projects.

With the kind of work he did in Nssuka...I wonder why his people refused to take him to the Senate....that on there own part could be seen as ingratitute.

The next governor should focus more on the the things I listed that gov. Ugwuanyi failed to do and spread his his developmental policies to all zones.

Wait is this guy trying to praise that "woman leader" It's either you're one of his "Hallelujah Boys" or you don't live in Enugu at all. He's the worst governor in Enugu state since 1999. He deserves to be jailed.
Praise singers have no honour. Ugwuanyi and his kind shouldn't be allowed to handle power anymore.

If Gov. Ugeuanyi did these things listed here during his tenure then he tried and deserves commendation....I just hope it not plain propaganda.
I am impressed in his performance in Techhubs, Higher Education, bursary for law students (should be extended to other courses too), educational support to Engineering students, foreign scholarship for post graduate students, health sector, tourism especially renovating Dr. Zik's house, patronizing IVM and generally being a calm&peaceful governor.

However, I think he performed poorly in agriculture considering Enugu states potentials, general security, city beautification&tourism considering the huge potentials of the state, Media& Entertainment industry considering the state past records& potentials and social cultural development as the capital of Eastern Nigeria, industrial capacity &other commercial repositioning.
He also failed to improve in modern transportation system, IGR& stimulate economic growth.
Finally land ownership system seems to be a big faulty issue in his government...this leadership failed to set aside land reserves for nature&the future use.

It also seems he focused more on his Nsukka zone to the detriment of other zones and relied a lot on political praise singers he didn't allow him see the true picture of things.


He failed to think outside the box& initiate spectacular, big&modern infrastructural projects...these days the people want leaders who will deliver well thought of , viable and spectacular modern infrastructural projects.

With the kind of work he did in Nssuka...I wonder why his people refused to take him to the Senate....that on there own part could be seen as ingratitute.

The next governor should focus more on the the things I listed that gov. Ugwuanyi failed to do and spread his his developmental policies to all zones.

If you believe Ugwuanyi's propaganda, then you will believe anything.

Louis Amoke shame on you.
You have been disturbing nairaland with ugwuanyi achievements

You don't need to do that, his achievements and antecedents will speak for him.

Me and you know say Enugu state no dey God hand but ndi Nrashi.

Billboard took over the state.

I'm happy that we have collectively retired him .

Next is to bury PDP in Enugu state.
Amoke Nrashi agwu ma oo

Now you igbos are waking up. I thought lagos and tinubu is your only concern.🤣

He is a failed governor always deceiving us with Enugu state is in God's hand. That 9th mile ogbede Road that he refused to work on as a governor from that zone killed him and spoilt his chanced and dream.

He has tried 20 years in government positions let him go and rest abeg let us try another person abi na only am them do government office for

No be this same NSK wey all of us dey? Nonsense and ingredient

This is indeed a sponsored paid post...We have moved on from this era, if as a governor your project is not visible like Dave Umahi, then forget it...!!

You should know Louis Amoke aka OEPHIUS is a paid agent working for Ugwuanyi.

Amoke and all Ugwuanyi "Hallelujah boys" deserve to be jailed with him. Enugu can't afford to have another governor like gburugburu again. such incompetent characters shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the Lion house again.

How people post nonsense here just to shine!

This man did nothing for Enugu people
Their ever worst governor.


He bought almost the whole land in Enugu.
Foodie!

Opheius you no dey tire ni . For your information, Ugwuanyi is the worst governor in the history of Enugu State.

I like him, but his people don't really know how to vote.

Billionaire2:
Nonsense write up..
one of the most useless governors from south east … with his newspaper achievements ..

Most of you on NL just hide behind your rusty keyboards or whatever to spew balderdash just because others are doing so.

Hate with facts! Not by mere hear say.

It’s well with y’all.

The fat pig starve enugu people of basic social amenities. He deserve to retire in jail

Okay. Im sure it's not bad to tell someone who has done a great job to rest let another person work.
Ugwuanyi you did well in Enugu. Now rest let someone else continue from where you stopped.

joachimnkenchor:
No governor is perfect but Ugwuanyi tried as a governor
I don't know how he lost his senatorial election
This year most people voted without thinking

R u from enugu
Do u live in enugu

Ugwuanyi is the most useless governor that didn't nothing for us. He stole people's land and pocketed the money

.

Ugwanyi no work anything for Enugu oo...
Sullivan Chime remains the best till date.
Peter Mbah will not also do much..
We are Obidiently waiting for the rest this Saturday..
24yrs of PDP in Enugu,with little to show..
Abia state PDP go collect woto woto
Our Labor shall not be in vain

How much were you paid for this shit? If your brain dey work, you would have asked the people of ENUGU north senatorial district why he was defeated with about 60000 margin.

He is yet to learn, It was praisesingers like you that gave him hope but we dashed the Hope to the ground. Ugwuanyi is one of the worst governors in Nigeria and also the worst governor Enugu has ever produced interms of infrastructural development . I pray EFCC to do the needful.

You lie for a living mr Louis
It’s already a game over here.Cry me a river.
