Good day, Ladies and Gentlemen....
It is my pleasure to welcome you all to this great eventful event of Enugu Political Arena get-together Hangout! I deeply excited to see so many familiar and new faces, and to have the opportunity to connect with each of you in this warm and inviting atmosphere today in Enugu State .
ENUGU POLITICAL ARENA is 3 years plus in existence , the noble forum has faces challenges and also developing rapidly.
Be that as it may , as many of you know, the Enugu Political Arena began as a WhatsApp platform designed to discuss the political and governance affairs of Enugu State and beyond. Initially, we were just an infinitesimal group, but we prioritized including individuals with progressive mindsets. Today, I’m proud to announce that our platform has expanded to over 425 distinguished members, representing various political parties and leadership roles across the state.
Through our commitment to promoting good governance and inclusive administration, we have made our voices heard and facilitated positive change in many areas of governance and ministry performance.
While our online discussions and engagement have been vibrant, it became evident that we needed an opportunity to meet face-to-face. This gathering allows us to get to know one another better, build stronger connections, and enhance our collective impact.
Today, we come together not just to celebrate our shared interests and achievements, but to strengthen the bonds that unite us as a group. Each of you brings unique perspectives and talents, and it is through our collaboration and camaraderie that we can achieve great things.
As we gather here, let us take the moment to reflect on our involvement in the group discussions, the challenges we have encountered, and the friendships we have forged. Note that these experiences truly make our membership in the platform special.
I encourage you all to engage with one another, share your ideas, and enjoy the conversations that will unfold. Let’s make this evening memorable, filled with laughter, inspiration, and connection.
This is a mission for a better society, the journey has just begun, and we will continue to grow, and progress for the betterment of our society, irrespective of any political differences.
We are one big united family.
I want to extend special appreciation to our distinguished leaders, guests, sponsors, supporters of this wonderful event, and our planning committee members led by the Chairman, Dr Chidi Orjiadachie.
With humility and a sincere purpose, we will make our Enugu State great and build a better society.
Thank you all for being here.
Let us celebrate together as we aim for greater heights.
