The endorsement of Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi,  a Federal House of Representatives member, representing Nsukka/Udenu Federal  consistency by the Enugu State PDP for the 2015 governorship election was prompted by five reasons.

1. Accountability
The general principle for any elective position is that the candidate must be responsible and accountable. Accountability is one of Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi's strong suits, so it does not come as a surprise that he has served three terms and have been trusted to head committees over and over again. On this note, Hon. Ifeanyi  Ugwuanyi, known as “Gburugburu” is tested and trusted, and also wields enormous goodwill in the state and beyond.

2. Capacity to deliver

It is not enough to be widely known.  One must also be known to have the capacity to deliver the dividends of democracy in line with the yearnings of your people and within the limits of your resources.
Ugwuanyi has through his sterling performance at the Federal House of Representatives demonstrated that he would do more if given higher responsibilities.  In the last few years, he has acquitted himself creditably as Chairman,  House Committee on Maritime.

 

3. Broad minded

The office of the governor is not a sectional seat. It’s the governor of a state, therefore, its occupant must be one that is neither parochial nor narrow-minded but one that has listening skills. One who takes wellbeing of every citizen, especially of his state as his responsibility. Hon. Ugwuanyi is not lacking in this criterion. He has represented his constituency well and with over a decade of government experience, he will certainly continue and expand on the legacy of Gov. Sullivan Chime.

 

4. Assertiveness
As the leader in the state, it demands that one should be assertive. That is one sure way to deliver on those things that one is convinced with every sense of responsibility that they are for the good of the greater proportion of the people. Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi has the ability to know when to act and ensure that assignments are implemented to the letter. .

 

5. Humility
A public servant of this status should be humble and this condition that is not negotiable. It is only through the grace of humility that a leader knows when and how to show empathy. Coming from a humble background, Hon. Ugwuanyi doesn’t discriminate between the rich and poor and is always ready to assist people. He easily mixes up with people. His personal relationship  with his constituents is unparalleled and certainly unbeatable.
