Delivering their message, Mr. Ubosi disclosed that the delegates were among the people of Enugu East Senatorial District who organised the Oganiru Mega Rally last year, to remind all stakeholders that it is the turn of the senatorial zone to produce the next Governor of Enugu State in 2023, based on the existing rotational zoning arrangement in the state.

“We are here to reaffirm our collective stance that where you ask us to go is where we will go. We equally came to reiterate that we are one family waiting to follow your directions. Just say a word and consider it done. We have 100 percent loyalty for you”, the Speaker added.
