His words: “In Enugu State, we continue to celebrate the unceasing grace of Almighty God which underlie our modest achievements in governance and service delivery to our people especially in these difficult times.

“The faithfulness of God and the fidelity of His love have been the wind beneath our wings. The peace we enjoy, your unwavering support and solidarity have spurred our accomplishments for which we are profoundly grateful.  

“Our administration shall continue to prioritize those projects that ameliorate the living standard of our people and stimulate economic growth.
