Ekweremadu posted his congratulatory message on his Twitter handle, @iamekweremadu.

He wrote, “I join the good people of Enugu and our great party, PDP, in congratulating Rt. Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi on his comprehensive victory and re-election as Governor of Enugu State.

“This is a well-deserved reward for one good term and purposeful leadership, for he has done very well. He is in touch with the people and the state has enjoyed peace.

“It is victory for the masses of Enugu and I can only wish him even more fruitful, peaceful and eventful new term as he continues on the path of excellence.”

While he thanked the people of the state for their overwhelming support, Ekweremadu added that “clearing all the state House of Assembly seats, in addition to the entire National Assembly seats in the state also won a fortnight ago, is a further confirmation that Enugu is totally PDP and firmly in the hands of God.”

Also, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Mr Ude Adolphus, has lauded the process leading to the governor’s victory.

Adolphus said the election was free and fair, adding that the electoral process was transparent.

On the decision of the APC governorship candidate, Senator Ayogu Eze, to boycott the election, he said the party was not aware of any boycott as the candidate had no powers to declare a boycott.

He said the APC fully participated in the election in the state and therefore had nothing against the outcome or the process.
