Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has expressed gratitude and renewed commitment following the recent Supreme Court ruling affirming his mandate.
The Governor’s message, delivered to the citizens of Enugu, echoed profound appreciation for their unwavering support and trust.
The Governor acknowledged the rigorous judicial journey, from the State Election Petitions Tribunal to the appellate court in Lagos, culminating in the apex court’s validation of his mandate.
He emphasized the citizens’ pivotal role in upholding their choice amidst attempts to challenge their collective will.
“This judicial affirmation is your victory,” Governor Mbah declared, recognizing the citizens’ resilience and unwavering backing throughout the legal process.
He added:
“Now that these distractions are over, it is time to redouble our efforts to serve you. We will double down on our earlier resolve to serve you with every fibre of our being.
“The reward of your resolute support will come in our rededication to do things that have to do with the ordinary people of Enugu State. We will give more attention to your welfare, development and good living.
“Let me reaffirm that you haven’t seen anything yet. We are by this judgement recommitting ourselves to the sacred pact between us. The social contract which we both signed on May 29, 2023.
“This judicial affirmation is a nudge to continue to provide water in every nook and cranny 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 development; to build a new set of leaders of tomorrow who will face the global challenges headlong.
“Let me use this opportunity to reassure you that all our campaign promises will be fulfilled to the letter. Hold us to account. Hold your pens firmly and stick with us as we drill down into all those electoral promises.
“As we celebrate this affirmation of your electoral mandate, please continue to spare moments of prayers for us. Beseech God on our behalf for an ultimately greater Enugu State. With your prayers and support, we will get to the Promised Land of an Enugu of our dreams.”
