"De mortuis nihil nisi bene" - (say nothing but good about the dead) -- ancient Latin adage

The administration of Enugu State governor, His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Gburugburu) has been fairly accorded benefits of doubt by optimistic people of the state, believing that he will improve with time. From 2015, everyone had trusted that perhaps, he would make good use of his executive office for the service of his people, having previously wasted twelve years in the House of Representatives without a single bill or constituency project to his name. After his first tenure, which was barren of development projects, save for relative peace which some believed was his making, not a few hoped for a better outing in his second tenure. But the overrated peace had a cocktail of violence and avoidable tragedies across the state, like the Nibo massacre of April 2016.
