The Special Adviser on Political Matters to the Enugu State Governor, Hon. Frank Anioma, has declared that Governor Peter Mbah deserves a second term in office, citing the administration’s infrastructure and development projects across Enugu State.
Anioma stated this during a Political Conversations programme on Freedom Square Tv, hosted by Uchenna Cyril Anioke Ph.D. where he assessed the governor’s performance over the past three years and described him as qualified to seek another mandate.
According to him, the administration has deliberately distributed its projects across the various wards and zones of the state rather than concentrating development in a particular area.
“He is more than qualified to go for the next election. And I believe that the Enugu people can attest to that,” Anioma said.
He said the administration had embarked on road projects across the state and promised that every ward would have at least 10 kilometres of roads before the end of the current administration.
Anioma said the commitment was separate from major roads traversing different zones of the state.
He also cited the Smart Green Schools as evidence of what he described as Mbah’s long-term development vision, noting that some of the benefits of the projects would only become fully apparent years after the present administration leaves office.
“When we talk about Smart Schools, we’re expecting to see the result in the next 10-15 years. That’s where people will start appreciating the vision of this young man called Peter Ndubuisi Mbah,” he said.
The governor’s aide also pointed to developments in healthcare, tourism, agriculture and industrialisation as evidence of the administration’s broader development agenda.
He said the government was working to revive inherited industries while developing tourism sites and expanding agricultural activities across the state.
Anioma maintained that critics seeking to challenge Mbah in the next election should present alternative programmes and explain how they intend to perform better in areas such as infrastructure, security and education.
He expressed confidence that the governor would secure another mandate, arguing that the spread of projects across the state had strengthened public support for the administration.
He urged residents to assess the government based on its projects, policies and measurable outcomes rather than political criticism.
