Ahead of the 2027 general election, a political support group called ‘Udenu Pillars For Dr. Peter Mbah’ has begun intensive campaign/sensitization on the need for massive voter’s registration exercise in Enugu State.
.
The pro-Mbah group stated this when it paid a courtesy visit to Hon Frank Anioma, Special Adviser on Political Matters to Governor Peter Mbah in his office, last Monday.
.
Nnamdi Emmanuel I. (Missile) Co-ordinator of the Udenu Pillars, told Hon Anioma that they have “An unwavering and sworn commitment to propagate the good intentions and achievements of His Excellency, Dr Peter N. Mbah.”
.
Emmanuel stated, “This group servers as a grassroots mobilization arm in Udenu Local Government Area of Enugu State.
.
Among their activities, he said, are: promoting the government policies. Programmes and achievements, strengthening political engagements and awareness in Udenu Local Government and beyond, serving as the bedrock of this progressive movement, fostering unity and active participation among members.
.
According to him, “The formation of this support group is a clarion call for a departure from the old order as exemplified by the disruptive innovation of His Excellency Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah.
.
His words: “Politics is, in practice, a contest for the authority to steer public systems – how we govern, allocate our shared resources and deliver the common good. It would be naïve to expect uniform agreement on ideology, method, party or personality.
.
“What we should insist on however is constructive and objective debates based on measurable outcomes, constitutional order and the continuity of governance as a public trust not a private
transaction.
.
“For too long in Nigeria, since the return of civil rule in 1999, the campaign mantra of ‘Continuity: has been more of propaganda for winning elections than a principle honoured in office. Lagos has been a stand out exception, where successive leaders broadly kept a strategic arc.
.
“Enugu has taken over from the reflective and record breaking turnaround of Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah Administration in Enugu State in the last 2 and half years. Elsewhere, discontinuity – abandoned projects, discarding plans and restarting from zero, has bled public finances, stalled development, worsened unemployment and deepened cynicism.
.
“Against that backdrop, what is unfolding in Enugu State. under His Excellency Dr. Peter Ndubisi Mbah marks a significantly departure worth assess on the evidence.
.
“In our bid to achieve a viral and exponential propagation of the gospel of good governance from His Excellency. Dr. peter Nubisi Mbah, we have devised a means of reaching out to the core voter by establishing polling Unit Cells.
The polling unit cells shall function with a full status as the wards and Local Government. We are maintaining the same structural framework as wards and local government levels.
.
“This will go a long way to sensitize and engander inclusiveness at that level, ab-initio neglected.
.
“We have already, through one of our patrons Dr. Gerald Asogwa donated (10) pieces of internet wifi connectivity modem to INEC Office Udenu to facilitate the current voter registrationexercise. Furniture has been procured for INEC as well as funding for recurrent expenditure.
.
In furtherance to the support on the voter Registration, there is a plan to move the machineries into various wards and town criers have been mobilized to awaken the voters in slumber for their civil responsibility.
.
“Udenu Pillars is for Udenu Local Government Area but of serious emphasis is the birth of Igboeze North Pillars, ably cordinated by Hon. Sydney Nweze. It is an expansionist policy and God willing, the senatorial zone will be encapsulated.
.
“We therefore implore the office of the Special Adviser to the Executive Governor of Enugu State to extend the necessary support to the Support Group and as well, recognize the sacrifice of the Leaders and members of this group for we are, all committed to excel with the people oriented government.
.
Responding, Hon Anioma commended the initiatives of the support group, adding that the sensitization on the need for massive voter’s registration exercise is a welcome development.
.
Anioma noted that many of the faces he saw are familiar to him, commending them for keying into the programmes and policies of His Excellency, Dr Peter Mbah who he said has continued to provide succour to the people of Enugu State through massive infrastructures and human capital development.
.
He assured the group of cooperation in advancing the course of democracy in the state.
