…Igbo-Eze South Produces Two Deputies in Key State Positions, Ukwueze and Ezugwu
Demonstrating his growing influence in Enugu state politics, Hon. Ugochukwu Ezugwu (Opposer), Leader of the Igbo-Eze South Legislative Council, has been elected Deputy Coordinating Leader of the 260 Ward Councillors in Enugu State. Hon. Ezugwu who is the councilor of Alor-Agu ward will serve alongside Hon. Obumneme Obed Eke of Enugu East, who was elected Coordinating Leader.
This election solidifies Hon. Ezugwu’s growing influence in Enugu State’s political landscape. Known for his decisive leadership and commitment to grassroots development, his new role is expected to enhance the coordination and effectiveness of ward councillors across the state.
The news comes on the heels of another landmark achievement for Igbo-Eze South, as Barr. Ugochukwu Ferdinand Ukwueze, Chairman of the Local Government Area, was recently elected Deputy Chairman of the Association of Local Government of Nigeria (ALGON), Enugu State Chapter, where he deputises Hon. Sydney Okechukwu Edeh, Chairman of Nkanu East LGA.
These back-to-back victories shows the quality of leadership emerging from Igbo-Eze South LGA, widely recognised for producing leaders who champion innovation and progress.
Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah’s “Disruptive Innovation” agenda has been widely commended for creating a framework that cultivates visionary leadership and transformative governance across the state through assigning positions to leaders with remarkable qualities and competency. His administration continues to inspire a new wave of effective and accountable leaders, shaping Enugu’s future.
With Hon. Ezugwu’s election, there is renewed optimism that grassroots governance in Enugu State will continue to flourish, further bridging the gap between government and the people. His leadership is expected to set a standard for other councillors across the state, inspiring confidence in the future of Enugu’s local governance system.
