Members of Ndi Oganiru Enugu have assured the governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Enugu State, Dr Peter Mbah, of support to win the 2023 gubernatorial election.
Ndi Oganiru Enugu is a popular support group founded by influential people to advance the political career of former deputy Senate president Ike Ekweremadu, who represents Enugu West Senatorial District at the National Assembly.
At a well-attended reception organised in honour of Mbah by the group at the weekend in Enugu, its leaders led by the president, Engr. Jude Asogwa, said the endorsement of the governorship candidate was prompted by his potent and robust manifesto.
The Ndi Oganiru leaders said they were enthralled by Mbah’s pledge to grow Enugu State’s gross democratic product (GDP) from its present $4 billion to $30 billion within four to eight years of his administration.
While formally collapsing their structure into Mbah and PDP Campaign Organisation, Asogwa, on behalf of the group, said the body has strong presence in the 260 wards of Enugu State, 36 states of the federation and 16 countries of the world which would be mobilised for the PDP.
Asogwa said the primary election was over and that their endorsement of Mbah was in fulfilment of Senator Ekweremadu’s promise to support Mbah’s candidacy immediately after the May 25, 2022 PDP primary.
He said, “The primary election has come and gone. Things did not go Ikeoha’s way. But being a party man, who is never desperate about life, after consultations with his political associates and the leadership of his support groups, he personally issued a statement entitled ‘Ndi Enugu, Time to Unite’, where he congratulated Dr Peter Mbah. Ikeoha Global also went on to say that his political structures would be merged with that of Dr Peter Mbah to ensure that he is delivered as the next governor of Enugu State.
