It is crucial to state from the very beginning that Dr. Peter Mbah is a man of destiny. He did not hide it from anybody that he wanted to become the Enugu State Governor. The job has now meet the man.
The Nigerian story is the matter of dubious godfathers almost always handing over power to ill-prepared godsons. Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu state did not follow the familiar debilitating trend. He insisted on backing the very best, a dogged performer who is poised to take Enugu state up the stratosphere. The choice of Dr. Mbah garnered unprecedented statewide support such that his election became a fait accompli.
Chief Mbah comes upon the saddle of Enugu state governorship fully prepared. He assures that he should be held to account via contents of his manifesto. In the spirit of marching words with action, Mbah insists on bringing to governance the private sector competent hands to drive the economy and the demand for prioritizing agro-allied processing zones as a means of building the IGR of the state.
Mbah's devoted application to any job he is doing is indeed outstanding. In fact, he would rather inform you that he is rendering service instead of doing a job. Little wonder he is affably known as "Mr Solution" in the general field of financial management, while in the specialized private sector of the nation's downstream industry he is dubbed "Mr. Developer"
He is that one Nigerian public-private figure who is not afraid to take hard decisions. For instance, the team of Dr. Mbah as Commissioner for Finance as well as Chief of Staff to the former governor of Enugu state, Dr. Sen Chimaroke Ogbonnia Nnamani was quite eventful. The cerebral man who dared to venture into spheres where angels feared to tread had his fervent admirers and steadfast revilers. Nobody apparently stood on the fence on the issue of Mbah. It is a mark of the mystique of Mbah that the then Governor Chimaroke Nnamani appointed him to serve as the state Commissioner for Finance where he distinguished himself excellently well. He upped the ante in macroeconomic stability, and through his efforts foriegn investment found pride of place in Enugu.
Dr. Mbah's work in the financial management of the state was nothing short of revolutionary. He breathed fresh life into the state governance. Mbah as a disruptive change agent, has this to say "every society that has prepared and endured has been led by men and women who have discovered a higher purpose beyond the self." For such people, politics is a vocation for selfless service and not a job. Such people are driven by a single purpose - to make a difference and leave legacies. Whenever and wherever competence is augmented with character and developmental ideology, the society wins"
Indeed, TomorrowIshere.
