Nwodo said his decision was predicated on the track records and antecedents of the duo in the private sector.
Nwodo, who disclosed this, yesterday, at Ogbede, headquarters of Igbo Etiti Local Council, when Mbah and his entourage paid a “thank-you visit to the council, stressed that Mbah’s choice of running mate would secure a landslide victory for the party.
Addressing party members and supporters, Nwodo, who is a former National Chairman of the PDP, expressed confidence that the candidacy of Mbah and his vision for the state, Enugu would make tremendous progress in technology, infrastructure, development and beyond.
Describing Mbah “as Information and Communication Technology (ICT) compliant and an enabler of fourth and fifth industrial revolutions,” Nwodo promised to rally the people to vote for the party’s gubernatorial standard-bearer.
He further stressed that the local council would queue behind Mbah by giving him maximum support in the election.
“We all know the position of our great party, PDP, in Enugu. Since we formed the party in 1998, we all know that from council to the house of assembly elections, national assembly, governorship and presidential elections, Enugu has been emerging victorious with 100 per cent in all elective positions.
“We are praying to God that the victories will be replicated in the forthcoming 2023 elections. PDP has solved our problems and it will continue to solve our challenges in the near future. We thank God for these our children, Mbah and Ossai, who has been elected as the PDP governorship and deputy governorship candidates, respectively,” Nwodo added.
