Says: He Will Win Second Tenure with Ease If He Continues This Way
The Director-General of Peace and Good Governance Group (P3G) and Convener of YOUTH SECURITY SUMMIT South East 2024, Hon. Monday Diamond Ani JP, has commended the Executive Governor of Enugu State, His Excellency Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, on his recent award as The Governor of the Year in Nigeria 2024 by The Sun Newspaper.
Recall that a few nights ago in Lagos, Governor Peter Mbah was honored with The Sun Newspaper’s prestigious award as the Governor of The Year in Nigeria 2024, based on numerous factors anchored on administrative performance.
Monday Diamond Ani, in a press statement, said that the following three major administrative performances are the yardsticks for Governor Mbah’s nominations and subsequent meritorious award as the country’s Governor of the Year 2024.
According to him, these are the major reasons:
1. SECURITY: Governor Mbah demystified insecurity in Enugu State and the South East. Enugu State is the Eastern Capital, and whatever positively or negatively affects Enugu State influences other Eastern regions. Therefore, the popular SIT-AT-HOME endemic, which hitherto dwindled the Eastern economy and threatened peace and security of Enugu State and beyond, was fought to a standstill by Governor Mbah without any record of casualties. Now, businesses have returned to their former status, tourism and adequate hospitality businesses are back and bubbling, normal nightlife has returned as well, and people can go about their daily activities and sleep at night with both eyes closed.
2. WATER: For over 20 years, Enugu State has faced issues of a lack of piped water, but Governor Mbah broke this jinx and made an adventurous promise of providing water to Ndi Enugu within 180 days. It was a pyrrhic achievement by his administration. He fulfilled this promise with practical and visible indices, and now water is running in Enugu State.
3. ROAD CONSTRUCTION: Unprecedentedly, in a span of one year, Governor Mbah has awarded over 1000 kilometers of roads in Enugu State. Enugu Urban is taking a significant turn in this laudable project as every nook and cranny of Enugu Urban is experiencing massive road construction. Virtually all the roads within the city are undergoing constructions, rehabilitations, and renovations according to their conditional demand, with a core principle of quality assurance control. These glaring performances are visible to both the blind and opposition party members who are now testifying publicly. His Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure is a perfect match for that portfolio, indicating that Gov. Mbah has the best team in his administration.
Other numerous projects of the Governor are highly commendable, but the above three are historically unique, and these have set him apart from others.
These are factual achievements, not political or media razzmatazz.
Ndi Enugu are happy; we are very proud of him, and we will support him to do more.
