“I will also form a caucus of Ebonyi south stakeholders who I will be having quarterly meetings with to discuss how to move the senatorial zone forward.”
Speaking at the event, the deputy governor of the state, Dr. Eric Kelechi Igwe who represented the governor, pledged the support and cooperation of Governor David Umahi to Senator Nnachi in his quest to provide quality representation for the people of Ebonyi south.
