Famous veteran Nollywood actor, Chief Pete Edochie, has described Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State as “the most dearest person” to him among great leaders in the country and beyond.
Chief Edochie made the assertion during an event marking his 53rd wedding anniversary with his wife, Mrs. Josephine Edochie, a lawyer, held at The Base Landmark Event Centre, Enugu, yesterday.
Governor Ugwuanyi graced the event in company with the deputy governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, Barr. Ifeanyi Ossai, former deputy chief of staff, Imo State Government House, Chima Nwanna, a legal practitioner, among others.
Chief Edochie, who is one of Africa’s most talented actors, said he was pleased with Ugwuanyi’s exemplary leadership qualities as well as his presence at the event.
The veteran Nollywood actor described the event as a “defining moment of my life,” adding that he was highly honoured by Ugwuanyi’s presence to celebrate with him and his family.
This is even as other eminent guests at the ceremony, in their goodwill messages to the celebrants (Edochie and his wife), equally applauded Governor Ugwuanyi for his humility, peaceful disposition and commitment to good governance.
