Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide has restated its support for the Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate, Peter Mbah, in Enugu.

OYC national president, Okwu Nnabuike, said Mr Mbah was the most competent among the candidates contesting in the March 18 governorship election.

The group’s position is contained in a statement by Mr Nnabuike on Wednesday.

“He captured every sector and all segments of the society, including the youth. His competence is also top-notch, as we have seen in his successful business career. This is why we are begging the people of Enugu State not to miss this golden opportunity of electing a man who is prepared for the job,” the statement explained.

According to the statement, the choice of candidates is no longer decided by party leanings but by the capacity of individuals in the contest.

“During the presidential election, everyone supported Peter Obi across party lines because of his pedigree. This is what we are asking the people of Enugu state to do: to support Mbah. He is competent, humane and prepared to set the ball rolling.”
