A coalition of non-governmental organizations – Worship Media TV Canada, and the Leadership and Entrepreneurship Advocacy (LEAD) Network Africa – has concluded an arrangement for a town hall for governorship candidates in Enugu State.
Addressing journalists about the virtual town hall on Saturday in Enugu, the Convener, Dr Chidi Nwanyanwu, noted that the meeting was designed to ensure that the people get the chance to interrogate the competence of the governorship candidates.
Nwanyanwu said that the town hall would hold on Monday, March 13, and would commence at 4 p.m. local time.
“The town hall will expose the competencies of the governorship candidates with a view to ensuring that the right man is elected for the top job in the state.
“It would showcase a true leader, a chief servant and an administrator that will work for the benefit of Enugu State people.
“The four leading governorship candidates in Enugu State include the APC Governorship Candidate, Uche Nnaji, APGA Governorship Candidate, Frank Nweke, Labour Party Governorship Candidate, Chijioke Edeoga, and Peter Mbah of the PDP. They have all been duly informed about the virtual town hall,” he said.
Nwanyanwu said that the choice of Monday, March 13, was strategically chosen and “it is hoped that all candidates will ensure they accommodate this crucial interview in their schedule”.
Speaking, the Executive Director of LEAD Network Africa, Mr Chukwuma Okenwa, noted that issues around the economy, security, infrastructure, job creation, education and governance shall be the focal points of the interaction at the town hall.
