Gov Peter Mbah
Leaders of thought and people of Enugu East Senatorial District across political divides have adopted Governor Peter Mbah as sole candidate for the 2027 governorship election.
They advised politicians in the state not to waste their money contesting against the governor.
In a communiqué issued at the end of a town hall meeting held at the International Conference Centre, Enugu, yesterday, they pledged to support Mbah’s re-election.
“In endorsing him, we want to state that we are blind to party affiliation. In the face of Nigeria’s fluid party politics, our political party is Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, a performing Governor, who has shown that he not only has what it takes to turn Enugu State around, but also to take it to the pinnacle of glory where our founding fathers dreamt of,” they stated in their communiqué.
According to a statement by a media aide to the governor, Uche Anichukwu, the motion for Mbah’s adoption was moved by the Labour Party’s candidate in the 2023 governorship election, Chijioke Edeoga.
Anichukwu said a former state chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Ben Nwoye, seconded the motion emphasised that the gathering of Enugu East was not about party, but about Mbah’s personality.
The communiqué read in part, “Following a far-reaching discourse where our people — thought leaders, political leaders, professionals, youth leaders, women leaders, traditional rulers, Presidents-General of town unions, leaders of market associations, trade union leaders, among others–openly and freely aired their views, the people of Enugu East Senatorial District unequivocally endorse Dr Peter Ndubuisi Mbah for a second term in office come 2027.”
