Royal Fathers in attendance
“Ije Awele is a platform for sensitizing the good people of Enugu East Senatorial Zone and the greater Enugu State for a peaceful transition of government in 2023 based on the Zoning agreement we have in our state. I want to emphasize on the fact that the transition will be peaceful.”
