“Enugu State Assembly Sets Example for Effective Governance, Says Chief Aloy Ogbonna”

The Ìgwè elect of Ogugu Ntu-egbenese Ancient Kingdom in Awgu Local Government Area of Enugu State, Chief Aloysius Chidozie Ogbonna Jnr, commended the Enugu State House of Assembly for their working relationship with the executives, which has led to seamless political leadership in the state.

Chief Ogbonna made this commendation on Tuesday when he paid a courtesy call to the Speaker of Enugu State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Uche Ugwu, at the State House of Assembly complex, Enugu.

He stated that Enugu’s 8th assembly, led by Rt Hon Uche Ugwu, has been very proactive in making laws that will transform the state into one of the best in Africa.

He posited that bills such as the Enugu State Electricity Bill, New Enugu City Development Agency Bill, Enugu State Geographical Information System Service Bill, and Enugu State Independence Electoral Commission (ENSIEC) Amendment Bill, which have been passed and signed into law, are all geared towards bringing disruptive innovations to the state.

According to him, “I am here to appreciate you for the good works you have been rendering to the state.”

“In spite of having a two-party-filled state assembly, you have coordinated the affairs in a manner that universities across the world should be encouraged to come and study.”

“Enugu State House of Assembly under your leadership has been regarded as the best so far since the current political dispensations, all due to your ability to steer forward.”

“In less than one year, you have been able to enact laws such as the New Enugu City Development Agency Law, Enugu State Geographical Information System Service Law, and Enugu State Independence Electoral Commission (ENSIC) Amendment Law, Enugu State Electricity Law, amongst others.”

“It is on record that Enugu State House of Assembly was one of the first to pass the 2024 Appropriation Bill into law in the country seamlessly, even as they have members of the state assembly from two different political parties.”

“The House under your leadership has been calm and focused, and it is a pleasure to come and appreciate you.”

Chief Ogbonna also commended the efforts of the state assembly in making Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah’s administration easygoing.

He also stated that the people of Ogugu Ntu-egbenese Ancient Kingdom in Awgu Local Government Area of Enugu State do not joke with Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, who gave them the needed support to solve their 24-year-old leadership crisis, which prompted his emergence.

He urged the state assembly to continue their support towards Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, a man who came to make Enugu a 21st-century state.

In his response, Rt Hon Uche Ugwu thanked Chief Ogbonna for the commendations, which he said are a morale booster to him and his members.

He stated that the Enugu State House of Assembly, under his leadership, is ever ready to support ideas and programs that will benefit the state.

Rt Hon Ugwu also congratulated Chief Ogbonna on his emergence as the traditional ruler-elect of his community as well as the entire community for unanimously breaking that leadership crisis yoke, saying that it is a new dawn for the community.

“I am very elated on this visit as well as all the encomiums.”

“This is a morale booster and also a call to do more.”

“Since the inauguration of this assembly, we all agreed to work together, not minding our political differences, to move Enugu State forward.”

“We thank God for what we have achieved so far and also thank Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah for agreeing to work with us.”

“We are just like a football team in which every member is important and works together for the common good of the team.”

“Our works are interrelated and interdependent, and only unity can make us achieve greater things.”

“I have some of the best brains in the country as my members, and when you are a leader blessed with such people, it makes your work easier because you will have enormous achievements recorded.”

“We are open to partnership with traditional institutions, religious organizations, companies, and so on, to outline ideas that will make our state better through legislation.”

“Enugu State under Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah will soon be a place of reference to all, as we are determined to make the state an enviable one in Africa.”
