Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) gubernatorial candidate in Enugu State, Dr. Peter Mbah is poised to enjoy the backing of The Obidients in the March 18 polls, iwitnesslive.com can report.
The group has directed all its members in the state to rally behind Dr. Mbah this Saturday.
A founding member of the group, Comrade Kennedy Iyere, issued the directive in Enugu on Tuesday with large numbers of the party in attendance.
He describeed Dr. Mbah as a man of great character whose competence and capability cannot be questioned. Iyere stressed that Mbah will surely deliver the expectation of the people if elected as Governor of the state.
“We stand here today to identify with you, Dr. Peter Mbah. The potential that you have, has compelled the Obidients to come to you. You are going to be the next governor of this state because you have all it takes to lead the state well.
“The competence that spoke for Peter Obi is now speaking for Peter Mbah. The capacity that speaks for Peter Obi also speaks for Peter Mbah. Peter Obi built Fidelity Bank. He also built Next Cash and Carry.
“Peter Mbah built Pinnacle Oil and Gas. He also built other successful businesses. Anybody that has not built anything is not fit to govern one of the greatest Igbo states.
“Peter Obi became a movement because we saw beauty in him that the PDP didn’t see. The same beauty we have seen in Mbah, we are telling Enugu State people to see.
“What you can give to the Obidients movement is good governance when you become governor of this state,” he said.
