Why do the heathen rage and imagine vain things?
The grand conspiracy is deep but shall soon be buried in its own sepulchre.
Too much Ado about Nothing
There is no back door to Lion Building
Scheme what you may, the game is all over. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah is your governor
The grand conspiracy against the Governor-elect of Enugu State, Barr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, came to a climax when in Arise Television interview the Director General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brig. General Y. D. Ahmed, in apparent volte face disclaimed the certificate the corps had issued Peter Ndubuisi Mbah when he participated and completed the compulsory one-year youth service programme meany for all Nigerian graduates.
At a meeting with Mbah in February, 2023, the DG had sounded apologetic to Mbah over the disclaimer issued by the Director of Corps Certification, Ibrahim Mohammad, noting that Ibrahim Mohammad did not consult him before issuing the disclaimer on Mbah's NYSC discharge certificate. He had also said he was new and barely three months in office, and had yet to have a firm grip on the records of the corps.
As a matter of fact, neither Mohammad nor Ahmed could have ascertained the veracity and genuineness of the certificate without recourse to records and the NYSC archives. Recoursing to the records would imply a thorough investigation into the whys and wherefores of the certificate, taking also into account the peculiar nature of Mbah's service, the wavers granted, demobilization and remobilization questions all which were fleshed out in writing. That would also involve subjecting to forensic test the certificate, and if you like the letters exchanged between Mbah and the NYSC as well as the clearance Mbah had obtained before the issuance of the certificate. Part of the investigation would have been finding out from the firm where Mbah did his primary assignment whether or not he completed the programme with them, as well as the letter evidencing that from the law firm. All this did not require the despatch with which Mohammad disclaimed the certificate. The urgent frequency with which Mohammad despatched the disclaimers was fraught with suspicion.
But Peter Mbah is a knowledgeable sound lawyer highly experienced. He knowing the implication of such false accusation and what appears like grand conspiracy, petitioned the DSS and the Nigerian Police to investigate the allegation of forgery of the NYSC certificate levelled against him. That was a preemptive step that took the conspirators by surprise. From their investigation, the DSS and the police had found the certificate to be genuine as it has the imprimatur of Nigerian Security Printing and Minting Company Plc and the features are in sync with NYSC serial numbers. Peter approached the court and the court on finding the truth ruled on the matter in his favour. Seeing the kind of media inquisition and mischief his traducers are wont to generate in order to continue to damage his reputation, he yet again approached the court to restrain NYSC from continued issuing of disclaimer to the certificate the allegation of its forgery of which he had been issued a clean bill of health.
It is interesting to note that contrary to his promise to respond to Mbah's petition to NYSC on the certificate brouhaha, the DG of NYSC has yet to respond to it three months after the petition was made, but would rather resort to issuing false disclaimers on a certificate proven to have been issued by the corps.
It is also curious that having knowledge of the subsisting court order that no more disclaimer, be it written or viva voce, should be issued on the certificate, the DG on the Arise Television interview threw caution to the devil and damned it by yet again claiming the certificate was not issued by the corps, something that is a flagrant contempt of the court. Where on earth does a Brigadier General, a very high ranking officer of Nigerian Army Education, pander to such carless and brazen disobedience of a court order? That can only happen in a lawless society savage and primitive.
The DG had sounded conciliatory and apologetic to Mbah untill he reportedly tasted the sweet flagon. Mohammad like Eve could have given Adam, sorry Ahmed, the forbidden fruit which he ate and his taste for compromise and gratification got honed. The desperate power mongers from Enugu might have paid him a visit and he is now singing a different song.
Peter had sued the NYSC claiming damages to the tune of N20 billion for the gross misrepresentation of facts about his person and the brazen denial and lies over his discharge certificate. The proof of the service of the suit to NYSC is loud and clear, yet the DG denied that the corps had been served when proof of services showed the commission, if a commission it is, was served on Monday, 15th May, 2023. It is unfortunate how the DG would throw integrity and truth to the dogs and chew the bones of disgraceful lies. What did he stand to gain by that? Why conspire against the Governor-elect? What huge portion of gratification could he have receive to merit this mindless mortgaging of his integrity?
The fact is that the certificate Peter holds was incontrovertibly issued to him by the NYSC. That is the irrepressible truth that no conspiracy can undermine. The matter is in court, and the DSS, Police and the printing and minting company are there to give forensic evidence to the genuineness and the authenticity of the certificate. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah has no reason to go through the rigours of the one-year service only to forge the discharge certificate. The fact is that the NYSC appears to be peopled by compromised, indolent and corrupt officials who play the devil to the highest bidder. This time, the bone has hanged on their throats to their paristaltic catastrophe.
Chijioke Edeoga, the discredited candidate of Labour Party in Enugu State, and Uche Nnaji of the APC, tainted with antecedents of drug trafficking and all manner of vices, have been fingered as being behind the unseemly and shameful misdomenor of the NYSC officials. Edeoga in his thoughtless brigandage is foolishly asking to be joined in the N20 billion suit Mbah slammed the NYSC. But for meddlesomeness, what is the business of Edeoga with that suit which is damage-claiming and personal to Mbah? Edeoga has shown that he and his cohorts are behind the spurious claims of NYSC certificate forgery against Peter Mbah. In the process of time, all those behind this grand conspiracy shall be unravelled and disgraced. Peter Mbah is a special gift to Ndi Enugu. Whoever elects to stand on the way as an adversary to the open door for Ndi Enugu shall be taken out of the way by the Lord who has anointed his son, Peter Mbah, to lead Enugu State to the promised land.No lies, no conspiracy, no propaganda and smear campaigns can overawe this anointing. Peter Mbah is not ordinary and like Nicodemus told Jesus, no man can do such things as Mbah does who is not from God. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah's extra-human dimension of capacity is a pointer to that, and Enugu State is exceptionally lucky for that matter. Battling Peter is battling God. Who can battle with the Lord? Nobody!
