Opi Agu was in jubilant mood on Tuesday as Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for Enugu North Senatorial District visited the agrarian community, going down in history as the first governor to visit the hinterland of Opi in Nsukka Local Government Area of the state.

The elated people of Opi Agu comprising the clergy, traditional rulers, elders, stakeholders, women and youths expressed profound gratitude to Governor Ugwuanyi for the rare visit as well as the funds his administration released to them for electrification project and intervention in their road which made it possible for vehicles to now access their community after decades of neglect.

The people also appreciated the governor for the classroom blocks constructed in the community among other interventions.

They assured Governor Ugwuanyi of their massive votes for him and other PDP candidates at the forthcoming general election, stressing that the governor has wiped away their tears by putting an end to their inability to access the community with vehicles over the years.
