Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has pledged to redouble his efforts in advancing the development of the state, following the affirmation of his victory by the Supreme Court in the March governorship poll.
Addressing the public in Enugu on Friday, Governor Mbah expressed gratitude for the judicial affirmation, describing the legal process as a “huge emotional journey, physical, and spiritual investment.”
He commended the people of the state for their unwavering support and emphasized that the citizens are the true victors of the judicial journey.
“Ndi Enugu, you are the victors of this judicial journey. I salute your dogged belief in us,” Governor Mbah stated.
“Your unalloyed support and prayers at every attempt to subvert your mandate can never be lost on us. Now that these distractions are over, it is time to redouble our efforts to serve you.”
He assured the citizens that his administration would reinforce its commitment to delivering on campaign promises and focus on the welfare, development, and well-being of the people.
“The reward of your resolute support will come in our rededication to do things that have to do with the ordinary people of Enugu State,” Governor Mbah affirmed. “We will give more attention to your welfare, development, and good living. Let me reaffirm that you haven’t seen anything yet.”
The governor highlighted key areas of focus, including water supply across the state, the construction of smart schools in all wards, sustaining security efforts, massive infrastructure and roads development, and nurturing the next generation of leaders.
“This judicial affirmation is a nudge to continue to provide water in every nook and cranny of Enugu state; to build smart schools in all the wards of our state; to sustain the provision of security; to provide massive infrastructure and roads development; to build a new set of leaders of tomorrow who will face the global challenges headlong,” he added.
Governor Mbah concluded by reiterating his commitment to fulfilling all campaign promises and urged the citizens to hold his administration accountable.
The Supreme Court’s unanimous decision dismissed an appeal challenging the outcome of the governorship election, upholding the verdict of the Enugu State governorship election petitions tribunal and the Court of Appeal.
