A former Governor of old Anambra State, Senator Jim Nwobodo, has declared that Mr. Peter Mba has been identified as the right Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi’s successor.
The Elder statesman made this known during a press conference at his Amaechi country home.
At the meeting he held with a number of the aspirants from Enugu East, Nwobodo also disclosed that another aspirant, Senator Ike Ekweremadu has accepted to support Mba.
He said: “From my interaction with a number of them, I was looking for somebody who I think should redevelop Enugu State.
“As far back as October 2019, I invited Peter Mba to my house. When he came, I told him to consider running for a position, especially Governor. He didn’t give me an answer immediately, but later he came and said he would consider running.
“Tomorrow, people will ask why am I keeping quiet, this is why I’m addressing the media today. I believe anybody who wins the primary tomorrow will be the Governor, because the PDP is the only party in Enugu State
“I have also been speaking with the Governor of the State, a fine, peaceful gentleman and I told him that anybody that will succeed him must bring peace
