"Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me." Isaiah 49:15.
Enugu Catholic Church behold your son, Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, a practicing Catholic, serving God in truth and in the spirit in line with the Catholic faith. Peter loves the church. He is in no mean measure committed to the progress of the church and the spreading of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ in line with Catholic doctrines. Little wonder he built the Catholic Church in his hometown singlehanded. Peter is also committed to Catholic education and that accounts for why he built the Peter Mbah Law Auditorium for the Law Faculty of Godfrey Okoye University,Enugu, a Catholic university ably run by Rev. Fr. Prof. Christian Anieke, the vice chancellor, himself a good friend of Peter's. No wonder Peter unveiled his manifesto at the university.
The call for the Catholic Church in Enugu State to turn to its own is compelled by the divisive wind of religious politics sweeping across the state, and the subtle attempt to turn the Catholic Church against its own by persons whose only qualification is the fact that they crossed over from one party to the other, and by so doing, became saints overnight, especially those in Labour Party who hope to ride or had ridden on Peter Obi's glory. Peter Obi like Peter Mbah is a committed Catholic. The church did not forget Peter Obi. Would it forget Peter Mbah? Shall the mother forget its own child she breastfed?
The Catholic Church is founded on a strong foundation, upon Peter, the Rock, to whom the spirit revealed the personality of our Lord Jesus Christ as the Son of the living God, the rock on which the church is built and the gates of hell shall not prevail. The key of the church was handed over to Peter, the first Pope of the Catholic Church. Besides this, Catholic priesthood rests on strong educational foundation that sees to the emergence of highly educated priests, many of them experts and professionals in many fields. Therefore, it is not for want of knowledge that the church would allow some heathens, wolves in sheep's clothing, to steal into the church and rob the shepherd of its only sheep, and they would succeed without restraint. It would sound ironical should the church forget its son, and perhaps unconsciously pander to the deceptive attempts to turn it against one of its own. It was Samson who, despite the fact that the Philistines had plucked off his two eyes, prayed fervently and earnestly, asking God to remember him that he might avenge himself of the uncircumcised Philistines for the sake of his two eyes. A clarion call is hereby made to the Catholic Church in Enugu State, to remember its own son, Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, the Enugu State governorship candidate of the PDP. God said of Israel that He had looked down from heaven and had seen the affliction of His people in Egypt, and was come to deliver them.The time has come for the Catholic Church in Enugu State to look at the afflictions of its son with besmear campaigns and false propaganda in the bid to turn the Catholic Church against him. The time is now for the church to rally its own against the sophistic shenanigans of the deviant dissidents.
Peter Ndubuisi Mbah is well-trained, prepared and poised to lead and lead well. He has antecedents of extraordinary Midas Touch in both the public and private sectors. Peter attended best of schools in the world, including the prestigious Havard University. He has a track record of excellent entrepreneurial exploits, and has the capacity to wrought disruptive innovation such as he did in the downstream oil and gas sector with Pinnacle Oil and Gas Limited. Peter is wise, intelligent, knowledgeable, visionary, creative, resourceful, humble, urbane and young. He is a transcedental leader with exceptionally emotional intelligence required for the 21st Century top-notch main currents in leadership trends.His manifesto is unexampled as it comprehensively articulates all there is to the Enugu economy, where we are now and where we are headed for with clear blueprints and financial models. So, the Catholic Church in Enugu State should be proud of its own and give him the maximum support. The values Peter proposes are inimitable and none of the governorship candidates has presented anything near it. So, the Enugu Catholic Church should be proud of its illustrious son and identify with him.
If the Catholic Church does support and pray for Peter as Rev. Fr. Mbaka has done, victory is sure and Peter Mbah's plans for Enugu State shall have been birthed. Enugu Catholic Church behold your son. Remember that Peter Ndubuisi Mbah is yours. Mother behold your son. Son, behold your mother.
