Women of the Catholic Diocese of Nsukka under the auspices of Catholic Women Organisation (CWO) comprising over 500 mothers in each of the 215 parishes of the diocese have thrown their weight behind Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State’s bid to represent Enugu North Senatorial District in the National Assembly in 2023 on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

They said Governor Ugwuanyi’s good works in Enugu State, particularly in Nsukka zone, were unprecedented.

They stated that the people of Enugu North senatorial district (Nsukka senatorial zone), have felt the positive impact of his administration, disclosing that the zone in the past never witnessed the kind of developments it enjoys under the present government.

The women pointed out that the visit was majorly to appreciate the governor for his laudable achievements, which they said has been transformed by the governor.

Speaking when she led representatives of the CWO, Nsukka Diocese, to pay a solidarity visit to Governor Ugwuanyi at the Government House, Enugu, yesterday, President of the body, Mrs. Stella Ekwueme, told the governor that the women were impressed with the numerous development projects of his administration and expressed confidence that he would attract more projects to the zone and provide quality representation for the people if elected as a senator in 2023.

Dr. Ekwueme assured Governor Ugwuanyi of the overwhelming support and votes of the catholic women.

“All the projects you have done and still doing, we are seeing them; Nsukka has seen the light under your administration; Nsukka is very happy and we are now proud to say that we are from Nsukka.

“The greatest thing that gives us joy is that our son is doing well in Enugu State. The era of suppression against an Nsukka man in Enugu State is gone because of your quality and people-oriented leadership. So we thank you and we thank God for you.

“That is why when the talk of who will represent us in the senate comes up, we reflect on the saying that the devil you know is better than the angel you don’t know. And that is why we are struggling to ensure that it is our brother (Ugwuanyi) and the person we know.
