The party's state chairman, who is also the head of the caucus, Dr. Ben Nwoye hopes that the inauguration will boost the party's chances of producing the state's next governor.

Other members that were appointed into the caucus include former governor of the state, Sullivan Chime and Jim Nwobodo, who was governor of the old Anambra state from 1979 - 1983.

Both are also former chieftains of the PDP before they jumped ship to the ruling APC.

Joe Orji, Director General of Voice of Nigeria, Mr. Osita Okechukwu, and Chief Onyemauche Nnamani, former secretary to Enugu state government.
