...No amount of propaganda can twist the fact

By Buchi Nnaji

Whenever I come across the mischievous handiwork of social media miscreants who specialize in propaganda, deceit, and character assassination, I weep for their miserable souls because they know not what they are doing; all their ineffectual indoctrination amounts to nothing, and their end is usually disgraceful.

Unfortunately, the chief propagandist cum antagonist in Enugu State, Chijioke Edeoga is blind to the fact that it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than Enugu people to be deceived into making a mistake in choosing Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi's successor. This is because the die has been cast and Enugu people know their onions.

Edeoga, recently sacked as Labour Party candidate in Enugu state, and his partners in crime have proven to be enemies of the state. Edeoga who is decorated in shame and frustration after losing woefully in People’s Democratic Party, PDP, primaries, and subsequently disgraced by the Federal High court sitting in Abuja, lacks in content and in character and has nothing positive to offer. 

The malicious and poorly doctored video clip tagged "Ego ndi Enugu", which obviously is one of the nefarious handiworks of the sacked governorship candidate in the State, Chijioke Edeoga, and his cohorts, is born out of sheer jealousy, wickedness, frustration and joblessness. Accusing Dr. Peter Mbah of using Enugu money to build such a multinational corporation is not only ridiculous but laughable; it proves that they are both lazy and not in touch with reality.

In what can be best described as the last kick of a dying horse, Edeoga and Uche Nnaji who claim to be the governorship candidate of All Progressives Congress have been wasting their unproductive time trying to tarnish Mbah's image instead of feeding the masses with what they have to offer as governorship aspirants. Of course, the reason is not far fetched, they can't offer what they do not have. Disgracefully, Edeoga and his cohorts are only good in campaign of calumny, propaganda and other despicable acts.

It is a known fact that only lazy people sit down to condemn the good efforts of successful men, while productive men task their brains and work very hard to create wealth and make meaningful contribution to the society. The social media guber aspirants whose only campaign weapon is to try and paint Mbah's image black are envious of Peter Mbah's mouthwatering achievements in the private sector, which speak for him and have endeared him to Enugu people more than other candidates.

Unlike Mbah who has been busy interacting with the electorates in order to ascertain their needs, Chijioke Edeoga and Uche Nnaji are busy concocting lies, fictitious videos and stories against the PDP guber candidate, Dr. Mbah whom God has destined to lead Enugu State to the promised land.

No matter how the enemies of progress try to paint Mbah's image black, it cannot change the fact that Dr. Mbah is an internationally acclaimed entrepreneur who is making Enugu State proud by building such a giant and reputable business as Pinnacle Oil & Gas Ltd., an achievement that his foes cannot dream of having for the rest of their miserable lives.

Peter Mbah has penchant for making the seemingly impossible situation to be possible. He has distinguished himself in the private sector by making such a huge investment in Pinnacle Oil & Gas Ltd., a company he started from the foundation stage and grew to what it is today. Due to Mbah's impeccable character, laced with his good track record of honesty and sincerity, he was able to convince his business partners, mostly foreigners and commercial banks to invest in the noble venture. Today, we have a multinational oil and gas industry proudly own by a worthy son of Enugu State. This is a fit that deserves to be celebrated instead of being jealous. 

The emergence of Peter Mbah as the PDP guber candidate is a sign that God has ordained him to be the next governor so that he can replicate the Pinnacle miracle in Enugu State by growing the economy of the State exponentially into a robust economy of $30bn from the current $4bn.

Instead of crying fowl, the sacked labour party candidate, Chijioke Edeoga and other aspirants who have neither manifesto nor the character to become governor are advised to join the great majority of Enugu people in queuing behind Dr. Mbah and give the incoming Governor all necessary support.
