    Remember the poor, weak and disadvantaged, Mbah, PDP guber candidate, urges Christians at Christmas

    The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Enugu State, Dr. Peter Mbah has urged Christians to remember the poor, weak and disadvantaged as they celebrate the Christmas, saying that giving and caring for others are the most important essence of the yuletide

    In a statement personally signed by him and issued by his media office on Saturday, Dr. Mbah congratulated Christians, Enugu citizens at home and in the diaspora, and Nigerians on the occasion of this year’s Christmas celebration.

    The governorship hopeful said he was full of joy to identify and celebrate with Christians, especially Enugu citizens living across the globe, adding that the message of Jesus’ birth reminds us of the importance of the season and what is expected of us to do to our family, neighbours, friends, foes and humanity in general.

    While wishing them happy celebrations, Dr. Mbah noted that Jesus’ injunction key to us is to share love with one another, be compassionate in our everyday activity, extend helping hands to the less privileged in the society, imbibe the spirit of love, unity, solidarity and peace.

    “As we celebrate this season, let us be reminded that we have been called to be bearers and doers of the message of Christ Jesus in our society. It is the message of renewed hope in humanity. It is the message of love for one another. It is the message of giving and caring for the poor, the weak, the vulnerable, the sick, the elderly, the less-privileged, amongst us, and chiefly respect for everyone. People should see the Christ in us through our relationship with them. We should be able to reach out to them, and be a reason for their celebration,” the governorship hopeful added.

    Mbah, who expressed optimism that 2023 will be a glorious year of hope and progress, called on the people of the state to join hands with him, keep their solidarity and support coming and join him on the journey of driving the state to greatness, transformation, exponential economic development, industrial revolution, new dawn of massive investments and job creation, and “a state which we will continue to proudly call our own”.

    He further appealed to the people not to lose hope and faith in the nation as his blueprint, which he tagged Manifesto, Statement of Purpose and Social Contract with Ndi Enugu, has already worked out strategies on how to insulate the state from existential threats facing the country, address socio-economic hardships including poverty, unemployment and insecurity, while enthroning social equity, justice and inclusiveness.

    While commending the government of Enugu State under Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi for its giant strides in infrastructure, peace and security, workers’ welfare, Mbah also saluted the sacrifices made by illustrious sons and daughters of the state in areas of investment, exploits in education, science and technology, promising that his administration, if elected in the forthcoming election, will continue to forge more robust alliances with them to make the state a hub for economic activities and tourism through enabling environment for investment and business partnership.

    “Once more, as we celebrate Christmas and inch towards the new year, I want to enjoin us to be tolerant, continue to live in peace, eschew all forms of violence, be your neighbour’s keepers, and keep your support for us coming. We appreciate the overwhelming support we have been receiving from you.

    “Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year. Congratulations,” the statement further reads.

  • 2023: How we will ease traffic congestion in Enugu – Mbah, PDP guber candidate

    2023: How we will ease traffic congestion in Enugu – Mbah, PDP guber candidate

    …as Enugu South LGA assures of resounding victory

    The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Enugu State, Dr. Peter Mbah, has reassured the people of the state of his resolve to address the protracted traffic congestions in the state by creating alternative routes and flyovers that will ease movements.

    Dr. Mbah gave this assurance at town-hall meetings held in Idaw River and Eke Otu, Amechi Uwani, headquarters of Enugu South East and Enugu South Central Development Centres, respectively, which attracted stakeholders across different political parties, business community, religious organizations, professional bodies, civil society groups, artisans, traders and farmers.

    The governorship candidate who was responding to the endorsement as well as demands made upon him by the spokespersons of the various wards in the local government area, stated that massive investments in the state could only be possible when there are basic infrastructures such as access roads, flyovers and other modes of transportation that will facilitate seamless movements.

    The governorship hopeful further said he was conscious of the important roles that service roads play in urban renewal which his administration will prioritize, adding that his aim is to build a world class city that the citizens will be proud to live in.

    Re-echoing that his administration will construct at least 10,000 kilometers of roads within the next eight years when elected in 2023, the governorship hopeful pledged to construct 1200 kilometers of roads every year.

    Further maintaining that his government will create an environment for investment through robust development programmes that will make the youth productive, and upscale production in the agricultural sector, the business mogul promised that Enugu will be the next industrialised city of the country.

    Speaking earlier, the entire people of the area expressed their commitment to give the PDP gubernatorial flagbearer a resounding victory in the forthcoming general elections, saying that his development programmes as contained in his robust manifesto have helped them to anticipate a new Enugu State under his administration.

    While maintaining that the local government has no other political party except the PDP since 1999, some of the stakeholders that spoke at the gatherings promised that they’re deferring party sentiments to support the best governorship candidate in the state.

    They commended Mbah’s manifesto for addressing their fundamental needs and proffering the way forward to their collective problems, stressing that they’ll vote for him because of his unblemished credentials in the private sector where he has been leading the downstream sub-sector of the Nigerian oil and gas industry.

    Addressing the well-attended interactive session, one of the grassroots mobilisers in the area, Hon. Emma Ugwu said the council area had already taken the project as their own because of his pacesetting integrated development plans for the state.

    He lauded Mbah’s uncommon exploits in the private sector where he employed thousands of Nigerians including Enugu citizens, stressing that he would bring the same entrepreneurial skills and administrative proficiency in the state.

    Similarly, Hon. Paul Ogbe who is known for his experience in delivering electoral victories in the development centre, stated that they’d already embarked on streets campaigns for the governorship candidate.

    He called on the party to extend its development tentacles to their environs by reconstructing the Loma Linda-Monarch-Express road, Timber-Ndemude-Top Land-Express road, and Emeka Ebule road which has two strategic bridges linking Mount, Akwuke communities and other towns in the area.

    A legal practitioner at the meeting, Barr. Francis Ani, while calling for more political inclusion of their people, re-echoed their confidence in Mbah’s ability to ensure justice and equity prevail.

    According to him, the PDP gubernatorial candidate has renewed their hope of having a new state through his successful businesses scattered across the globe.

    On his part, the administrator of the development centre, Hon. Chinedu Onukwe reiterated his people’s commitment to vote en masse for the PDP, adding that Mbah has no rivals in terms of his programmes and robust plans for the people.

    Onukwe while rendering the stakeholders that graced the town-hall meetings, said they’re going to deliver bloc votes for the party through the dignitaries and people of the area that had already started campaigning for Mbah and his running mate.

    In his contribution, the member representing Enugu South and Enugu North Federal Constituency, Hon. Ofor Chukwuegbo commended Mbah for bringing government closer to the people through the initiative behind the town-hall meetings, adding that his leadership had delivered 2.1 kilometers road in the urban area.
