No visible projects in Enugu, after this news, go and ask of those they empowered, u wont see any. This gov is just a scam. The problem with the south east is that the govt have and control the media,they patch a road and they do red carpet event. We are our problem, we need bloggers in the south east, bloggers that can write what's happening in politics and not just celebrity gist.

Painment.
Who ask you, Oshi.

Even people that cannot take care of their siblings will come out on social media to criticize a governor of a state.
If Enugu State is put under your care, can you take care of her for a day?
