• Endorse Mbah for second tenure

Enugu City is one of the cleanest and safest cities in Nigeria, many lawyers who participated in the just concluded Annual General Conference (AGC) of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) in Enugu have declared.

They made this known during a tour of some tourist sites in the state, saying they were thrilled by the Art Gallery, National Museum, Milliken Hill, Ngwo Pine Forest, and their several days in Enugu State.

Many of the lawyers said that their impressions about the South-East had changed dramatically by spending time in Enugu, noting that the state “runs an organised system.”

Stephen Medaiyedu from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Bar, Abuja, expressed satisfaction with the level of infrastructure put in place by the state governor, Peter Mbah, in just two years, and his ability to pull the event through within four months of moving the conference from Port Harcourt to Enugu.

According to Madeiyedu, hardly any lawyer would say that he or she did not have a good time in Enugu or that he or she did not feel adequately safe throughout the conference that lasted from August 22 to 29.

Samir Mohammed Adamu, Bauchi State, acknowledged the unity, peace and serenity found in the state throughout the conference. He described the state as one of the most beautiful and peaceful cities in the country, where hospitality and serenity were at their peak.

Ozor Nnadume Awforkansi, Ezeagu Branch of Enugu State, said that with what the lawyers had seen in Enugu, the NBA had discovered the state as one of the places that would now be hosting various events of the umbrella body of the legal practitioners.

Meanwhile, an Abuja-based legal practitioner, Henry Okeke, has declared that Governor Peter Mbah has demonstrated rare leadership qualities that not only secure him an automatic return to office in 2027. but also position him as a future presidential material capable of transforming Nigeria.
