… Assures NdiEnugu he will anchor his government on four core values
Enugu State PDP Governorship Candidate Mr Peter Mbah has again assured people of the state that his government will do things differently to exponentially grow the state’s economy if elected into office next year.
Mr. Mbah, a Lawyer and CEO of Pinnacle Oil and Gas who gave the reassurance while interacting with some Online News publishers and On Air Personalities (OAPs) in Enugu, said he would deliver “quality people focused governance” anchored on making Enugu “the preferred destination for investment, business, tourism.
The PDP candidate who had the media parley alongside his running mate, Mr. Ifeanyi Ossai, told the people that his government will make Enugu State “one of the top three states in the country in terms of GDP”.
Continuing, Peter Mbah affirmed the projection that his government will attain a zero percent rate in the state’s poverty headcount index. He stated that this will be achieved by growing the state’s GDP to $30b from it’s present $4.4b.
Furthermore, Mr Mbah said his government will rest on the strategic objectives of “Peace, Development and Prosperity” while deliberately continuing to build on the peace already in existence in the state.
“We are clear about the plans… and objectives we have for Enugu State. Our strategic objectives are anchored on Peace, Development and Prosperity”, he stated.
“Agriculture is going to be our own oil wealth”, he confirmed, while making reference to his administration’s focus on agriculture, noting that “we have an ambitious programme for agriculture. We shall take agricultural production seriously and would grow it both for domestic consumption and for export.”

“We have to do things differently not better because if we do things better we’ll have to grow marginally and incrementally. So we have to do things differently to grow exponentially.
“We’re clear about the plans we have for Enugu State. We have clear objectives. Our strategic objectives coincidentally is anchored on the acronym of our party, PDP, which stands for Peace, Development and Prosperity…
“We’re going to ensure that we have peace and security in Enugu State. The current peace and security we have shall be sustained and built upon. The reason being that you cannot have sustainable development without peace as you cannot have peace without a sustainable development. They are inexplicably intertwined and mutually enforcing. We shall have a three pronged approach to security. We shall have an integrated programme to accelerate youths employment because unemployment and poverty engender insecurity on our communities, and everywhere.
“We’re also going to have an integrated rural development programme which would address the infrastructure deficit we have in our rural communities. We’ll ensure that we have water sanitation and so on to boost rural development.
“We shall pay attention to the issue of community policing and inclusion of all citizens in governance.
“These three pronged interventions will see that we address the root causes of insecurity and also deal with physical security challenges. We shall deploy technology in our community policing schemes.
Mbah told the journalists that those were “snippets on who they are” pending when they would unveil their manifesto.
The media parley which took place at The famous the Base Event Center, Enugu, was coordinated by the Team Lead, Peter Mbah Organization (Media), Mr Dan Nwomeh assisted by Prince Josh Ejeh. GMTNews
