Enugu state governor Dr. Peter Mbah has said his victory at the Supreme Court was an “affirmation of the sacred will of the people of Enugu state.”
The apex court Friday dismissed the appeal filed by Chijioke Edeoga of the Labour Party and upheld the rulings of both the tribunal and the Appeal Court in favour of the governor.
Addressing the people at the Government House, Mbah hailed the judges of the apex court “for affirming the will of justice and for also keeping that will of justice rolling and upholding the mandate of Ndi Enugu.”
He said, “Now that these distractions are over, it’s time to redouble our effort to serve you. We’ll double down on our earlier resolve to serve you with every fiber of our being.
“The reward of your resolute support will come in our rededication to do things that have to do with ordinary people of Enugu state.”
Mbah told the jubilant people who trooped to the Government House to celebrate the victory that they hadn’t seen anything yet as “the judicial affirmation is a nudge to continue to provide water in a every nooks and crannies 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; to build a new set of leaders of tomorrow who will indeed face the global challenge headlong.”
He reassured that all his campaign promises would be fulfilled to the letter and called on Ndi Enugu to hold him to account.
“With your prayers and support, we will get to the Enugu of our dreams. Tomorrow is here!”
