Don't Jeopardise Ugwuanyi’s Legacy Of Peace, CAN Chairman To Politicians 

The Chairman of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Enugu State, Emmanuel Ositadinma Edeh, has advised politicians in the state to appreciate the enduring peace entrenched by Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi. 

He urged them to desist from hate speech, campaign of calumny, character assassination and all acts of violence ahead of the March 11 Governorship and State Assembly elections. 

Rev Edeh, in a statement, said that Christians in the state are worried over the rate at which some politicians and their agents are going about overheating the polity, and maligning the integrity of their opponents as well as the sacredness of leaders of religious institutions in their desperate attempt to achieve cheap political goals. 

The Enugu State CAN Chairman condemned the negative acts, adding that they are "strange and inimical to the enduring and cherished peace and good governance initiatives of Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi's administration since its inception in 2015".

Rev. Edeh described Governor Ugwuanyi as "a peacemaker and wonderful being whom God has used in uniting and promoting peace in Enugu State, and in advancing good governance in the state especially in the rural areas in the overall interest of the long-neglected rural dwellers for them to feel the direct impact of democracy dividends".
