Dr Peter Mbah most suited candidate for Enugu Governorship Seat. Report from Enugu by Foxxymobile Agent Francis Obinna New Haven Power Line Area.

Enugu has come to a point where we don’t need leaders that will just dabble their way through for a whole eight years.

We need a leader who espouses a vision, which blueprint must be well laid out for us to see and interrogate. But as I write, Edeoga is yet to present any manifests, less than two weeks to the election. And even if he does so, there is no way the citizens can interrogate him.

His candidacy can be likened to someone, who is promising to build a mansion for Ndi Enugu, but has no building plan or architectural design.

Conversely, Dr. Peter Mbah of the PDP has not only marshalled out his vision of a new Enugu State in his detailed manifesto since October 2022, he has additionally gone round Enugu State to market his blueprint for a new Enugu in town hall meetings in the 68 development areas or centres.

He has made himself available during those engagements to be interrogated by community leaders, market women, youths, traditional institutions, women groups, and political leaders across the state on his manifesto.

He has had exclusive engagements with Enugu youth, women organisations, churches, professional bodies, the Chamber of Commerce, etc. to answer questions on his manifesto.

Dr Peter Mbah stressed that his government would prioritize science, technology, engineering and mathematics even as technical and vocational training centres would be made available to impart new skills in the youths in order to meet up with the demands of investors in the state.

Mbah also stated that his administration would build a tier-4 hyper scale cloud neutral data centre and incubation centres with high speed internet, unrestrained access to data, uninterrupted power supply and workstations to enable them operate in the cybernetics space.

He said, with the policies and programmes that would be set up by his administration, Enugu youths could easily fit into the world of robotic science, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, augmented reality, mechatronics, e-commerce and Fintech that would give them an edge over others.

Dr Peter Mabh also stated that through key targeted policies and programmes including agriculture that he will grow the Gross Domestic Product of Enugu state for the next three to four years, from the current level of $4.4billion in 2022 to $30 billion.”

Dr Peter Mbah promised to bring peace and security and said that it would be achieved “through a three-pronged intervention, firstly, an integrated programme to accelerate youth employment for all Enugu citizens.

Secondly, integrated rural development programmes and thirdly, community policing and inclusion of all citizens in the governance of the state.”

Dr Peter Mbah promise to make supply of pipe-borne water one of his government’s priority.

He noted that the major challenge facing water supply in Enugu metropolis was poor supply of power and his government would link power direct, so if we are able to get power supply and not rely on generators only,so our plans is to bring in private sector investment see how we can ensure through the power plant we have in Oji-River run a power line directly from that power plant straight to Oji-River water scheme, but it is only electrical it is also mechanical.

Mbah further said that water resource sector has three arms; upstream, midstream and downstream.

The upstream has to do with water supply.

The midstream focuses on how pipelines convey water from source to storage. We understand that this needs sufficient power supply to function effectively.

Enugu State, he said, had the capacity “to produce 130,000 cubits of water and this would be enough for Ndi Enugu and we would aggressively bring in private sector investment to revive the water sector, by addressing the mechanical and electrical concerns.

“Our government if voted, he said would set up boreholes in the rural areas. The proximity between the boreholes and the houses of the residents will not exceed five minutes walk.”

Mbah said, that he shall industrialise Enugu State, attract investors and change it from being a public sector driven economy to private sector driven economy.

He promise to enhance agricultural production in a special agro processing zone.

He also promise to transform dormant assets into productive assets, including the mineral resources.

Mbah promise to bring in private investors by creating a good environment for businesses to thrive without asking them for return on investment. These and many more will lead to wealth creation and job creation,” he said.

Dr Peter Mbah stated that they main focus would be on agriculture, energy and mineral resources, commerce and industry, rural and urban infrastructure, creative industries, information and communication technology and tourism development, insisting that the economy will be driven by radical innovation and departure from the incremental and nominal style of leadership.

He said that they objective here is to attract private sector investments by making the environment attractive to investors.

My job is to make sure we enable the ease of doing business, create special economic zones, and encourage our young people who are doing well in ICT by providing all the facilities and infrastructure to explore their full potential,” he said.
