“But on several occasions, the photographers that normally take these pictures leave without giving me a copy. Any photographer that will be the first to give me the pictures of today’s event will receive a good prize from me?”
Gov. Ugwuanyi graced the event in the company of the deputy governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, Barr. Ifeanyi Ossai; and former Deputy Chief of Staff, Imo State Government House, Barr. Chima Nwanna, among others.
