Sunday Nnamchi, member representing Enugu East and Isi Uzo federal constituency, Hon. Sunday Umeha, Member representing Udi/ Ezagu federal constituents, Hon Chimaobi.Atu, member representing Enugu North/Enugu South federal.constituency, and other members of the Southeast zone executives of the party to be in attendance, the ceremony was only witnessed by former PDP members who joined the party with the governor.
