Sullivan Chime, the former governor of Enugu State, has endorsed Dr Peter Mbah, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the March 11 governorship and state assembly elections.
During an interactive session between Mbah and some politicians and members of the business community on Sunday in Enugu, the former governor made his position known in his Enugu residence.
“Mbah is the best candidate for Enugu State. I have had interactions not just with him (Mbah), but with other candidates. Looking at the field, Mbah is the best and credible candidate Enugu can offer now.
“I have no reservations whatsoever in endorsing and supporting him. I believe, that he will not disappoint the people of Enugu,” he said.
He described Mbah as a great asset for the state especially considering his track records of achievements in business and other public engagements saying recently his privately owned company has recorded over N1.4 trillion annual turnover.
“When I was working with Sen. Chimaroke Nnamani, Mbah wasn’t a politician. Mbah is still not a politician. From our interactions he is very clear on what he wants to do. He has a passion of giving back to the state and he has the passion of taking Enugu beyond what it is,” he added.
He declared that Mbah had never been charged for any offence by the Ecomomic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) or any security agency. (NAN)
