The Enugu State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Peter Mbah, has doused pessimism that the state had been landlocked, saying he would make it oil producing state if elected as governor in 2023.
A statement issued on Thursday by his Special Assistant (Media and Communication), Dan Nwomeh, said Mbah made the commitment while addressing a large turnout of party members and supporters in Umulokpa, Headquarters of the Uzo Uwani Local Government Area, during a thank you visit.
Meanwhile, a former governor of Enugu State in the Nigeria’s Third Republic, Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo, has revealed Mbah as his preferred governorship candidate in the state.
While throwing his weight behind Mbah, and his running mate, Ifeanyi Ossai, Nwodo said his decision was predicated on the track records and antecedents of the duo in the private sector.
