“Ugwuanyi is a serving and high-performing governor of Enugu State where he has enthroned peace, stability, and social and economic transformation of the state.
“He was a long-standing member of the House of Representatives and Chairman of its Marine Transport Committee. He is currently on the ballot for the senate on the platform of the PDP,” he said.
