The community also appreciated his considerable concern for their well-being and concerted efforts in addressing myriads of their socio-economic challenges.

The people of Mgbowo, led by the commissioner for science and technology, Obi Kama, were also at the Government House to declare their support for the Ugwuanyi-led Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leadership in Enugu.
