My brothers and sisters,
This is a special day of my life! It is a day of reflection. It is a day of thanksgiving. It is a day of appreciation.
Therefore as I thank God for my journey so far, I heartily appreciate you, for your various roles.
Looking back to where and how I started, especially the challenges overcome and the grounds covered, I realize that the essence of our common humanity is to complement each other, and also that even in our individual weaknesses there are great strengths collectively.
By God’s design, we need each other to achieve our purposes and attain greatness in life. For surely, a palm cannot make a clap. Again, I am fulfilled to learn that whatever God does not give you cannot be given by man.

As the politics of 2023 picks up in Enugu State, Chinenye Ugwu interrogates the contentious issue of zoning of the governorship seat
The Nazi propaganda machine, Joseph Goebbels, offered one of the most popular rubrics of propaganda: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, the people will eventually come to believe it.”
Often referred to as the “illusory truth effect,” this is a cognitive bias and glitch in the human psyche, which tends to equate repetition with truth. Enugu politicians have tried to put this to full use. They saturate the media and social media with a fairy tale of how Enugu’s founding fathers agreed on governorship zoning in the politics ushering in the current democratic dispensation and threaten anybody that wants to truncate it. But the question is: how could anybody truncate what does not exist?
