Ahead of the February/March 2023 general elections, the people of Ozalla and Obe communities in Nkanu West local government area of Enugu State have presented their charter of demand to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, Dr Peter Mbah.
They said the PDP had been their preferred political party, saying their support was based on benefits they have enjoyed from it since 1999.
The communities, while rejecting other political parties in the area as specialists in failure due to their incompetence and predictable defeats in successive elections, commended the PDP for the impressive human empowerment it has brought to their people over the past 23 years.
Speaking at the town hall meeting at Obe town, headquarters of Nkanu West Central Development Centre yesterday, the stakeholders and representatives of the different bodies said they would vote for the PDP en bloc because of the positive impacts their people are enjoying today.
They described themselves as great beneficiaries of the party in terms of appointments into key positions, employment, empowerment and economic growth.
While addressing the large crowd at the event, the chairman of the council area, Hon. Uche Ejim stated that Mbah’s visit to his people had renewed their hope and faith in the party that more dividends of democracy will continue to pour in.
Ejim described Mbah as part of the large family, saying the people had already taken ownership of the project.
“Our votes will speak for us on the day of election, and we want to use our votes to re-affirm our appreciation to the party,” the chairman noted.
Member of the House of Assembly, who spoke at the gathering, Iloabuchi Aniagolu declared that Mbah is a brand everyone will be glad to advertise, adding that his candidacy is enjoying massive acceptance among the people because of his excellent programmes.
