Chronicles the noteworthy political and leadership journey of the gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah. On the March 11 2023, Ndi-Enugu will be marching up the polling units to elect this modest, cerebral, perspicacious, courageous and decent political leader as their next governor. The story of Dr. Mbah's sojourn on earth is one of the abundance of the Grace of God whose unfailing love for humanity has been sufficient in his life. The young Peter was nurtured and bred with the biblical words because both parents are devoted christian and as a result of this, it's a ritual for every member of the Mbah household to attend the church devotions for the indoctrination of christ value.
Dr. Mbah is one of the socialites ruling the social space in the Nigeria downstream oil and gas sector where he came into the space dominated by major players and took over the ownership as a leading light in the industry through Pinnacle facilities, built at the Lekki Free Trade Zone, Lagos State, Nigeria. Dr. Mbah is a person with good fashion sense, flaunting every single outfit is given the nickname "Olileanya Ndi-Enugu". If the subject of discussion is politics and focuses on Enugu, the name of Chief Mbah will surely feature prominently. Certainly with Dr. Mbah's political ideology, no gain saying that a political dynasty has emerged in Nkanu land and Enugu state politics, but this is unknown to many political neophytes.
The Peter Mbah political dynasty is expanding daily, across the three senatorial zones courtesy of his in depth vision to engage the grassroot through a town hall meeting with the 68 development centres in the state. Mbah is known as a straightforward man with the ability to say things the way they are. His decision to join the gubernatorial race in Enugu is an act of God, and is a typical example of his bravery, calculation and timely. His detest to act of injustice made him an enemy to some of his political associates who operate from the gallery. Dr. Mbah is an unpredictable man, a coin with two faces. The only people who can give an accurate description of Mbah are the one who has engaged him in one way or the other. It is true, he can't be divorced from daily political struggle. If struggling, negotiation to get what belongs to the people in politics will be the last resort to get such a thing, Dr. Mbah is someone who always negotiates to get what is meant for the people but will never go beyond caution.
Peter Mbah once said "As a politician, you need to fight for what is due for the common people on the streets when some power drunk, overzealous elements want to use the power conferred on them to obtain what is meant for the people inappropriately. I negotiate for major causes and reasonable issues if the need arises but at a limit. I am a respecter of law, I do go to an extent of consultation, appeal, and re-appeal to get my target before the confrontation, especially in politics. Unlike other politicians that see loyalists, and youth as important, only during the election, the brave, tough Dr. Peter Mbah is a tolerant politician, he is not even special to himself, and he always from time dines and wines with his people, particularly among grassroots politicians and his extended family.
A first-time caller at Mbah residences at Zoo Estate, as well as his country home in Owo will find it difficult to understand the kind of relationship between him and Ndi-Enugu. His typical day start with meeting with people of all classes and if there are no visitors, he would be with his loyalists who had considered his house as their second home discussing the issues of importance concerning the state. You would hardly hear Dr. Mbah saying he needs a rest except if he has to go out for a function or on a business trip.
Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah is not just a political leader, he is a proud husband with blessed children, a father, to many disadvantaged society, and the hope of Ndi-Enugu.
