Traders Applaud Ugwuanyi For Restoring Normalcy In Enugu Market Crisis


(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Traders at the new Artisan  livestock market Enugu, mostly made up of Nigerians of Northern extraction, have commended governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, for wading into the protracted crisis rocking the place and subsequently reopening  it for business .

Our Correspondent recalls that the market which was closed down last December had been characterized by crisis, following litigation by a citizen of the state, one Emeka Nnaji, who is laying claimed that some portions of the market belongs to his late father, Chief  Everest  Nnaji.

The situation had pitched the traders and Nnaji against each other, leading to disruption of business activities  in the market for some time, before the state government’s  recent intervention.

Speaking with newsmen yesterday in Enugu  on  the peace that has returned to the  market, Chairman of the Livestock traders Association of the market, Alhaji Danlandi Abubakar, said we are indeed “grateful to the Enugu State  governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi for what he has done for us.

” His intervention in the market has further shown that Ugwuanyi is truly a man of peace, and political father of all in the state, irrespective of religion or ethnicity.

“We want to use this medium to  assure  him  and his government that we the traders in this market will continue to support his administration, and play our role as responsible and law abiding citizens.

In his comment, Patron of the Association, Alhaji Sani Mohammed,  also  expressed appreciation to Ugwuanyi, for the singular act, advising him to keep up the good work he is doing in the state, “but he should always be careful  with  sycophants  who are only interested in their personal gains

Mohammed, who described the governor as a detribalized  Nigerian, said his administration since inception, had always touched the lives of the poor masses via human oriented programmes and policies, urging  him to  keep the flag flying in that regard 

Recalled  that  Counsel to  bthe Association, Barrister Olu Omotayo, who is in court  via his organization, Civil Rights Realization and Advancement Network CRRAN, over an Appeal suit  filed against Nnaji, had earlier petitioned the governor over the claim by Claimant  that the market which was duly Gazetted  and allocated to the traders by the state government belongs to his late father.

Meanwhile, Omotayo, in a letter of commendation to the  governor  over the restoration of peace at the market  said” the Board of Trustees of the Civil Rights Realisation & Advancement Network (CRRAN) writes to commend your intervention in the purported takeover of the Goat market by a private citizen purporting to be acting via a Writ of Execution.

“You did not only intervene on the part of ensuring justice but you went further to unconditionally ordered the re- opening  of the Goat Market which was closed down in December 2016, .

“The action you took in respect of this matter not minding court actions taken by the Goat Market traders who were mostly of Northern extraction, against the government immediately after the closure of the market, portray you as a political father and leader who believe in justice and fairness for all citizens irrespective of their ethnic or religious background.

The letter obtained by African Examiner Wednesday in Enugu read “We further reiterate that the traders of the Goat Market are peaceful and law abiding citizens who have firm belief in respect for constituted authority and respect for the state government.

“We again join the leadership and thousands of Goat Market (New Artisan) traders to say Thank you and God bless.
