According to Ezeoha, “it has been a tasking time piloting the affairs of the APC in the council area. However, I want to say that Enugu South council area is a work in progress.
“As I bow out as the Local Government Party Chairman and Caretaker Chairman as well, I am not bowing out of politics; instead it is about more tasks ahead.
“I want to also commend party faithful solidarity towards my success which is unquantifiable. I say a very big thank you in moving the party ahead in Enugu South Local Government Area.
“We have all worked tirelessly to see the party at where it is presently. I want to assure all party faithful that they will definitely reap the fruit of their labours,’’ he added.
