A frontline pro-PDP support group in Enugu State, Enugu Coalition Movement, ECM, has led over 83000 of its members to endorse the gubernatorial aspiration of the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Dr. Peter Mbah, ahead of the 2023 general elections.
The group made this declaration Tuesday evening in Enugu when it paid a solidarity visit to the governorship candidate, stressing that Mbah had shown capacity and conviction to render selfless service to the people of the state through the development programmes he recently unveiled.
Speaking on behalf of the movement, the convener, Hon. Dr. Chinedu Nwamba said the delegates from the ECM had at least, 83000 members with their voter’s cards intact and would be voting en masse for the PDP governorship standard bearer in March next year.
Nwamba further commended Dr. Mbah’s leadership dexterity and transformative agenda for the state, stressing that the support group was formed because of their faith in what he could do in the state.
“We have been going to the whole local government areas and political wards to tell our people about you and your excellent manifesto. We came to show you solidarity and assure you that we are working for you.
“As things are today, it’s only PDP that is vying for election in the state, and we are confident of your victory,” the convener added.
Corroborating the above, the Secretary General of the group, Hon. Patrick Okoh stated that they we’re driven by the passion to give him the support and deliver his candidacy.
He added that they’d taken the project as their own, and have been embarking on grassroots mobilisation and political sensitisation that will ensure his electoral victory.
Responding to the massive support by the coalition movement, Mbah lauded the group for being an epitome of what a support group should be.
Mbah, who commended the structure of the group as impressive said it’s obvious that PDP will be winning in a landslide, adding that they’d be going into the elections prepared.
The governorship hopeful promised not to let the state down if elected in the forthcoming elections, while urging other support groups to emulate the ECM in grassroots mobilisation and support base for the party.
