The candidates of APGA, APC, LP and others alike share similarities in their manifestos about their plans for Ndi-Enugu, but none of them addresses people’s concerns about what Ndi-Enugu needs for the future like that of Bar. Peter Mbah of the People’s Democratic Party.

“National Polling Booth Vanguards, after a cursory look at the manifestos and the candidates; in conjunction with the state Branch Executives and Patrons, unanimously agreed that the Barr.

“His manifestos sets out plans for greater opportunities in Enugu state. It’s about making the difference and not spotting the difference as other aspirants are currently doing.

“These goals are ambitious and we the National Polling Booth Vanguards are impressed with the document, for his ambitious dreams for Enugu state; is about a better quality of life for Ndi Enugu.

The document no doubt, “sets out to renew people’s trust in Politics by cleaning up the rot of our political system and enforces a new norm of striking a deal between the people and government.

“With Mbah’s manifestos and oath to serve Ndi Enugu, (meaning, Enugu people) he is indeed determined to see that the potentials of the people of the state are utilized.

“We, the National Polling Booth Vanguards hereby make bold to say that Bar Peter Mbah will make the difference come 2023”
