Lawmaker representing Enugu West senatorial district, Senator Osita Ngwu, has congratulated Enugu State governor Peter Mbah, on his victory at the Court of Appeal.
The Appeal Court sitting in Lagos on Friday affirmed the election of Mbah of the Peoples Democratic Party as the governor of Enugu State.
The Appellate Court in its unanimous decision resolved all the three issues against the appellant, Edeoga Chijioke Jonathan, of the Labour Party.
The 3-member panel presided over by Justice Tani Yusuf Hassan held that the Appellant failed to prove that the Respondent forged his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate, and not qualified to contest the governorship election.
Senator Ngwu in a congratulatory message, described the victory as a testament to the resounding mandate that the people of Enugu State have bestowed upon him to be their governor.
The lawmaker said Governor Mbah’s vision, integrity, and passion for the wellbeing of the people will undoubtedly guide him in making impactful decisions and implementing positive changes.
The statement reads, “On behalf of myself and the good people of Enugu West Senatorial District, I extend our heartfelt congratulations to His Excellency, Gov. Peter Mbah, on his recent victory at the appeal court. This triumph in the litigation challenging his victory at the polls is a testament to the resounding mandate that the people of Enugu State have bestowed upon him to be their governor.

The victory serves as a testament to Governor Mbah’s relentless efforts in serving the people of Enugu State and ensuring their voices are heard and represented. We are confident that under his leadership, Enugu State will continue to experience tremendous growth and prosperity.
