Ex-Governor Chime endorses Peter Mbah for Enugu guber election
Ex-Governor Sullivan Chime has endorsed Peter Mbah, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in the March 11 governorship election.
The former governor made the endorsement in his Enugu residence during an interactive session between Mbah and some group of politicians and members of the businessmen community on Sunday.
“Mbah is the best candidate for Enugu state. I have had interactions not just with him (Mbah) but with other candidates. Looking at the field, Mbah is the best and credible candidate Enugu can offer now. I have no reservations whatsoever in endorsing and supporting him. I believe that he will not disappoint the people of Enugu,” he said.
He described Mr Mbah as a great asset for the state, especially considering his track record of achievements in business and other public engagements, saying that his privately-owned company recorded over N1.4 trillion annual turnover.
“When I was working with Senator Chimaroke Nnamani, Mbah wasn’t a politician. Mbah is still not a politician. From our interactions, he is very clear on what he wants to do. He has a passion for giving back to the state, and he has the passion of taking Enugu beyond what it is,” he added.
He declared that Mr Mbah had never been charged with any offence by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) or any security agency.
