The Concerned People of Enugu State, a non-partisan and grassroots oriented civil society organisation in Enugu State, through their Chairman/Convener, Mr. Peter Ezih, has declared that Dr. Peter Mbah’s government will succeed through constant positive engagement with the grassroots and regular citizens of Enugu state.

This was their resolution during their Executive meeting on Monday 15th April 2024, at Grand Signature Hotel, Enugu.

The organisation commended His Excellency Barr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, Governor, Enugu State, on the wonderful job he has done so far in Enugu State and also urged him not to relent as he works to fulfill all that he promised good-governance-hungry people of Enugu in his manifesto during the 2023 governorship elections campaigns.

The organisation have also noticed with deep concern, the spate of unprofitable, malicious and destructive criticism which some self serving politicians and their foot soldiers have constantly unleashed at the government, not minding how spurious, injurious and demoralising those may be to the development and social well-being of the state.

At the same time, the Chairman urged the Governor’s praise singers to whittle down their political trumpets and not hype the governor to a frenzy of no return, making the governor develope a false sense of achievement that will deprive Ndi-Enugu of the God ordained dividends of democracy due them through this administration.

He went on to inform that the best way to get the government to be alive to its responsibility is only through constructive engagement, and not through self serving wicked propaganda or undeserved praise singing.

Furthermore, according to him, the association having dispassionately and critically examined activities of His Excellency’s commissioners, head of ministries and agencies over the past nine to ten months, hereby wish to bring to the notice of His Excellency, the noticed negligence, laxity and in some cases, outright incompetence exhibited by some of the said commissioners and heads of ministries and agencies in the exercise of their assigned duties.

We urge His Excellency to urgently caution and call them to order, as this, otherwise, may prove to be detrimental to his vision of moving Enugu from a $4.4B economy to a $30B economy.

The association wishes the governor and all the state’s functionaries well in their bid to elevate Enugu to an enviable height in committee of states in Nigeria.
