Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, has continued to dominate political conversations in recent weeks following growing rumors of his alleged move from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Enugu, traditionally considered a PDP stronghold for decades, is now facing a potential political shake-up if Governor Mbah eventually jumps ship. While the Governor has often projected his “Tomorrow is Here” mantra as a sign of transformation and progress, political observers are questioning why a performing governor would abandon his party at such a critical time.

According to insiders, Governor Mbah’s rumored defection stems from disagreements with the PDP National Executive Committee (NEC) over the appointment of the party’s National Secretary. Others allege that the Governor is seeking federal government backing ahead of his 2027 re-election bid.

However, his political future appears uncertain following revelations from the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, where the Labour Party candidate, Hon. Chijioke Edeoga, and his legal team presented evidence that Mbah submitted a forged NYSC certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), under oath, disowned the certificate, insisting it did not originate from them.

Though the Tribunal admitted the deposition from NYSC disclaiming the certificate, it could not disqualify Mbah on the technical ground of not front loading the document with the petition earlier within the specified time limit. Nonetheless, the matter has become a public knowledge, raising concerns about Mbah’s eligibility to seek re-election in 2027.

A PDP chieftain, reacting to the situation, said the Governor’s exit would bring “peace and fresh air” to the party. He argued that any party that fields Mbah in 2027 risks disqualification due to the certificate controversy, stressing that forgery and perjury when established carry between 14 and 21 years imprisonment under Nigerian law.

“The PDP cannot afford to gamble with its governorship ticket in 2027,” the chieftain warned.

With these unfolding political intrigues, the big question remains, Is there any political party that will be willing to serve as a safe haven for Governor Peter Mbah bearing in mind the consequences of the disclaimed NYSC Certificate before the public.

The Rivers State Police Command has declared that the tragic death of a 26-year-old lady, Peace Moses, an indigene of Akwa Ibom State, was not reported in any of its divisions or units across the state.

Peace was knocked down last Monday evening by a convoy of about 15 fast-moving vehicles around Omega Junction along Ada-George Road in Port Harcourt.

She was returning from an evening service at her church, Love Channel Christian Centre, also located along Ada-George Road, when the tragic incident occurred.

Last Thursday, a candlelight procession was organised in her honour by her friends and neighbours.

Speaking with our correspondent in Port Harcourt yesterday, Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state, Grace Iringe-Koko, a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP), wondered why neighbours could not report the incident to the Police.

Iringe-Koko stated that even the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in charge of the Rumuepirikom Police Division was unaware of the tragic incident.

“Probably they didn’t report any such incident to the Police Station because the DPO in charge of that area is asking me where and when the incident occurred.

See, if they don’t report cases to the Police, how would the Police know? We are not magicians. I just spoke with the DPO, and she said she is not aware of anything like that.

“Somebody needs to report or anyhow, information needs to get through so that we too will get it,” she said.

But reacting to the claim by the Police, a human rights lawyer, Courage Nsirimovu, said that, with or without a report on the tragic incident, the Police are duty-bound to investigate the matter.

Nsirimovu said: “The duty of the Nigerian police is to secure lives and properties, and where a life has been lost in such grievous circumstances, the police have a duty to investigate the matter on the basis of their mandate and the public need to prevent such a menace to human life.

“The Police have a duty to investigate the matter, with or without a petition.”
