Our thank-you tours upsetting opposition camps, says Mbah

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Enugu State, Peter Mbah, has said that the ‘thank-you tours’ of the party to local councils of the state made opposition party candidates jittery.

Mba stated at Ikem, Isi Uzo council’s headquarters, yesterday, that reports of jittery in the opposition parties over his increasing popularity and wide acceptance by the electorate are evident from their media ranting.

Disclosing his reason for embarking on the thank-you visit, which commenced last week, Mbah said it behoved him to show his gratitude to the people that voted for him during the PDP governorship primary and on whose mandate he is flying the party’s flag.

While re-echoing his earlier position, Mbah, a former Chief of Staff to the governor and Commissioner for Finance in the state, dissociated himself and the tour from any campaign colouration, stressing that expression of gratitude to party loyalists is different from canvassing for votes from the electorate.

Commending PDP stakeholders and members in Isi Uzo for giving him ‘99.99 per cent votes in the primary,’ Mbah assured them of his readiness to reciprocate their support with good governance if elected in 2023.
