Comrade UWAKWE EZEJA AS CARETAKER COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN IGBO EZE NORTH?

THE MAN UWAKWE EZEJA BY ONYEKACHI UGWU

If news emanating from the desk of Enugu Boardroom in this regards is to have any iota of credibility and I sure hope it does, then for the first time Igbo Eze North gets it very Right as the choice of UWAKWE EZEJA  goes a long way to underscore the committment of our Governor His Excellency Ifeanyi Ugwuanyis to put round pegs in round holes thereby reinventing grass root administration.UWAKWE EZEJA, a renowned labour leader, a quintessential and seasoned administrator, a caring and resolute believer in the greatest happiness of the greatest number is certainly a man God has readied for greater calling.

I met this man of prodigious ability and consummate personality way back in the 90's when he held sway as NULGE Chairman. It is worthy of note that he distinguished himself and became a darling of the workers and a Nemesis to any lack lustre administrator that toyed with workers welfare. I had a chance discussion back then with him and was enarmoured by his depth, charisma, flair and determination to do things right.

In 2003, I met him again While he  held sway as the sole administrator of Udenu Local Government on whose shoulder was  laid the responsibility of organizing the 2003 local Government Election by the then Governor, Chimaroke.  I recall he invited some critical stakeholders cutting across all frontiers and made it plain that as the head of administration in the council area, he can only succeed with the support of all. He warmed his way into our hearts and We committed to Working with him. And what a robust relationship We had with him.
In the ensuing election, Uwakwe,  despite the charged atmosphere and near break down of law and order, never cringed as lesser mortals would. He rose to the occasion effortlessly as great leaders are wont to and brought the scenario to normalcy.

It is also needful to State that within so short a period in Udenu,  he left many prime legacies to his credit.

Worthy in his great life is the fact that unlike others, he does not court controversy, nor employ aggression in his dealing with individuals and or groups. As a politician he is urbane, mature, grassrooted, down to earth and above all a man of his words.

If the Governor does select him, and I am not prempting the wisdom of the Governor.... I dare say that such is one Good appointment IGBO Eze North people would not forget in a  hurry. Therefore, let us all pray and roll out our drums in readiness to felicitate with him, the Good people of IGBO Eze North if it happens......

Uwakwe Ezeja is the best man  for the job at a time as critical as this.....being a confirmed, tested and trusted manager of men and resources....
