Former governor of Enugu State, Sullivan Chime, has endorsed Dr Peter Mbah as the gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the March 11 Governorship and State House of Assembly elections.
The former governor stated his stance in his Enugu residence during an interactive session between Grandmother and several groups of politicians and members of the business community on Sunday in Enugu.
“Grandma is the best candidate for Enugu State. I have interacted not only with him (Mbah), but with other candidates. Looking at the field, Mbah is the best and most credible candidate that Enugu has to offer today.
“I have no reservations whatsoever to support and encourage him. I believe he will not disappoint the people of Enugu,” he said.
He described Grandma as a great asset to the country especially considering her record of achievements in business and other public engagements saying her private company has recorded an annual turnover of N1.4 trillion.
“When I worked with Sen. Chimaroke Nnamani, Grandma was not a politician. Grandma is still not a politician. From our interactions she was very clear about what she wanted. She has the passion to give back to the country and she has the passion to take Enugu beyond anything,” he added they.
He stated that Mbah has never been prosecuted for any offense by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) or any security agency.
