Barr. Peter Mbah
As the political Parties in Enugu State continue to talk to voters for support in the next general election, the deputy governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state, Barrister Ifeanyi Ossai has said that the emergence of Barrister Peter Mbah as the flag bearer of the PDP was the best to have happened to the people.
Ifeanyi Ossai said that his long standing relationship with Peter Mbah has given him insight into the kind of leader he is adding that if eventually voted into power, Enugu State shall witness an unprecedented economical growth and prosperity.
Ifeanyi Ossai made this revelation recently when he had in audience, a group of young men and women from Enugu State who paid him a courtesy call at his Ezimo country home. He said that contrary to the fears nursed in certain quarters about the personality of Barr. Peter Mbah, Ossai said the PDP flag bearer is a young, dynamic and smart manager of human resources who would bring in a leadership style that will leave the state among the best in Nigeria.
“The Peter Mbah I know has all the trappings of a focused leader. He grew up from a very humble background and has risen to the pinnacle of his business management as head of a blue-chip company. He is a man who is not given to clannishness and sees the state as one family. He has a blueprint of how to make the people of the state achieve their very best in their different field of endeavours.
“When people talk about getting a governor from Isi Uzo, it will be interesting to note that Barr. Peter Mbah’s country home is just a stone throw from Eha Amufu in Isi Uzo Local Government Area. Infact, his home is closer to Eha Amufu than it is to other communities in Nkanu. It was just a matter of boundary adjustment that saw them in Nkanu East Local Government Area. Besides, the clamour for zoning in my own thinking is about uneven development and unnecessary favouritism which I know are not in the character of Barr. Peter Mbah. A support for him is a support for the progress of Enugu State.
Responding, the immediate past Executive Chairman of Igbo Eze South Local Government Area and currently a Commissioner in the state, Dr. Peter Andy Omeje used the opportunity to commiserate with Barr. Ossai over the death of his mother and gave him all the assurances that the youth must work hard to ensure the emergence of Barr. Peter Mbah as the next governor of Enugu State
In another development, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expressed delight at the emergence of Barr. Ifeanyi Ossai, a young and brilliant lawyer, as the running mate to the party’s governorship candidate in Enugu State, Barr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, disclosing that the joint ticket will guarantee the sustenance of the enviable legacies of Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi’s administration anchored on peace, security and good governance.
In a statement by the Chairman of the PDP in Enugu State, Hon. Augustine Nnamani, the party congratulated Barr. Ossai on his emergence as the party's deputy governorship candidate, and went further to commend Barr. Mbah for his forthrightness and wisdom in choosing him based on his integrity, competence and commitment.
The PDP State Chairman thanked Gov. Ugwuanyi for his effective leadership role which he (Nnamani) said was responsible for the peaceful conduct of the PDP primary elections in the state and the emergence of the party’s governorship candidate, Mbah, and other flag bearers of the party.

Hon. Nnamani stated that the party is convinced that Mbah as a humble, peaceful, visionary, God fearing and young entrepreneurial intellectual will sustain the worthy legacies of Gov. Ugwuanyi who he (Nnamani) said has done a lot to entrench peace and good governance in Enugu State, in spite of the nation’s economic, security and public health challenges.
He expressed optimism that Mbah as a brilliant lawyer and dedicated party man will uphold the manifesto of the PDP and the policy thrust of the present administration, if elected as governor of Enugu State.
"The PDP leadership in Enugu State is delighted at the nomination of Barr. Ifeanyi Ossai, another young and brilliant lawyer and dedicated party man as the running mate to our governorship candidate, Barr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah.
“We are delighted because Ossai’s emergence will boost the resolve of our governorship candidate, Barr. Peter Mbah, to sustain the enduring legacies of our leader and Governor of Enugu State, His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.
“We deeply appreciate the sacrifice and steadfastness of our governor in ensuring that the people of Enugu State, including those in the rural areas, enjoy peace and good governance in spite of the numerous challenges confronting our country.
“The PDP family commends Barr. Mbah for his choice of running mate. We congratulate Barr. Ossai on his emergence which is well deserved and we profoundly appreciate the leader of our great Party in Enugu State, Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi for his effective leadership role in the emergence of our governorship candidate and other party’s candidates for the 2023 general elections”, Hon. Nnamani said.
Recall that Mbah in his acceptance speech as the PDP governorship candidate promised to build on the achievements of Gov. Ugwuanyi’s administration and serve the people of Enugu State with humility and moderation, openness and inclusiveness, simplicity and forthrightness.
He equally expressed profound gratitude to Gov. Ugwuanyi for enhancing the democratic process of his emergence.
