Former governor of Enugu State, Dr Chimaroke Nnamani, on Wednesday made his first entrance into the Enugu State Government House 12 years after he left office.
Accompanied by numerous supporters, Chimaroke trekked from the entrance gate of Government House to the Lion building where he was given a grand reception.
It was a joyous moment.
Nnamani was governor of the South-East state from 1999 to 2007 on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
Speaking at the occasion, Nnamani, who could not hide his joy, said that Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi “has planted a seed in my life for giving me a second chance. He has re invigorated me. He is a man of inestimable greatness. He is a man that is gifted. His name is Ifeanyi and nothing is impossible with God.” The former governor, who was not recognised by his successor, Sullivan Chime, from 2007 to 2015, continued to shower praises on Ugwuanyi: “I am very grateful. I am thanking all of you and the governor who made this possible. I am very surprised with level of reception I am getting. The reason why I said I was surprised is that this is the 12th year since I last stepped into this Government House. Who can explain, who can decipher. Nobody can explain this. If it were to be written, nobody can write it, if we were to draw it, nobody can draw it. It is only God who can explain this.
“I am telling you people that I never expected what you have done for me. When I look around, I begin to wonder if I really deserve this honour. I am saying to the governor, let that benevolence which God has given me through you, let that benevolence be shown also to you in Jesus name.”
Ugwuanyi said that “what the people of Enugu East said they came to do was to come and thank me. But if I should place things the way it should be, I don’t know who should thank the other. The only thing I do is to give all due thanks to God”.
He thanked them for voting him into power in 2015 and appealed to them to repeat same on March 2.
