“I deeply appreciate Your Excellency’s role in making my return possible,” Edeoga stated. “This is a groundbreaking moment in Enugu State politics. It signifies the transition from hostile political rivalries to politics based on vision, service, and unity.”

Edeoga stressed the importance of focusing on governance rather than lingering political divisions. He urged any dissenters to recognize the wisdom behind reconciliation and the need to work collectively for the good of the state.

“Politics should be played with fairness and humanity,” he added. “Now that governance is in full motion, our priority should be the progress of Enugu State. I am fully committed to ensuring the PDP remains strong and victorious in future political endeavors.”
