Disturbed by perceived marginalization of their community in the governance of Enugu State since 1991, indigenes of Ugwuaji community in Enugu South Local Council have pleaded with Governor Sullivan Chime to come to their aid.
The move was part of decisions taken at the gathering of eminent sons and daughters of the community recently.
Considered as one of the most peaceful communities in the Coal City state, Ugwuaji Community, apart from councillorship and House of Assembly slots, has not produced any higher political office holder.According to them, the community has not produced local government chairman, commissioner, member of House of Representatives or senator in spite of having a glut of qualified people.
Other communities that make up Enugu South Local Council apart from Ugwuaji are Amaechi, Obeagu and Akwuke.
Among the communities, Amaechi, where the former governor of old Anambra State, Jim Nwobodo; former Senate President, Senator Ken Nnamani and former House of Representatives member who is also the Ambassador to Japan, Goddy Agbo hail from, has produced many chairmen such as Hon Ikengwo, Dr Okoh, Mr. Onyia, Goddy Agbo, Sunday Anyawu, Hon Charlie Nwabueze, Hon Emma Okenwa and Nwabueze Okafor who is actually serving his second term.
Obeagu has produced three: Sam Ngene; two-time transition chairman, Goddy Nnamani and Ignatius Chiene.
On the other hand, Akwuke has been represented in the House of Representatives by Hon Nick Agbo. They have also produced deputy council chairman and transition chairman. Pained by this development, leaders of Ugwuaji gathered last month to brainstorm on the way forward.
