Enugu Governor Mbah Criticizes Opponents for Seeking Shortcuts in Election Campaigns

Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has accused some of his opponents in the upcoming 2027 governorship election of spending time in Abuja looking for dishonest ways to influence the election instead of connecting with voters.

During a campaign visit to Adani and Ugbene Ajima in Uzo Uwani Local Government Area, Mbah stated that his opponents have not presented any plans for the state because they lack ideas and have resorted to forgery of certificates.

He criticized them for not engaging with the electorate, saying, “They think that there is a shortcut. So, rather than come and face the people, they go about shopping for alternatives to the Lion Building,” referring to the state government house.

Mbah emphasized that his opponents cannot demonstrate any achievements or plans for sectors like education, healthcare, and agriculture. He urged voters to reject these candidates and use their votes to support those with proven records.

In addition to his campaign remarks, Mbah announced that construction on the Nsukka-Adani Road and Edem-Nrobo–Abbi-Nimbo Road will begin soon as the rainy season ends. He also visited a local hospital, promising to upgrade its facilities and provide new medical equipment.

Furthermore, Mbah pledged to build a new classroom block and establish an innovation hub at Santa Maria Nursery and Primary School in Adani, highlighting his commitment to improving education in the area.
