In a speech, the leader of the four communities- Ohuani Umufu Nkerefi, Imeoha Nkerefi, Ishienu Nkerefi and Onuoha Nkerefi- Chief Ogbonnia commended Governor Ugwuanyi for his exemplary leadership and good governance of the state.
Mr. Ogbonnia noted that over the years that it is only in the administration of Governor Ugwuanyi that the people of Nkerefi felt the impact of government in terms of appointment to positions and development.
In his words, “His Excellency has shown that he is the anointed David that comes to save his people.” He appealed to the governor to appoint the community’s sons and daughters to more positions to give the people a sense of belonging.
They thanked Governor Ugwuanyi for appointing their son, Elder GOC Ajah, Secretary to the State Government (SSG), assuring him that he would not disappoint him.
