Former Commissioner for Lands and Urban Development in Enugu State, Victor Nnam, has declared his support for the G17 for Peter Mbah movement — a grassroots mobilisation platform championing the re-election of Peter Ndubuisi Mbah as Governor of Enugu State in 2027.
In a statement released to journalists on Thursday, Nnam hailed the group’s vision, describing it as “a timely and people-oriented platform capable of consolidating the gains of the current administration.”
He also applauded the group’s Convener and Chairman of its Board of Trustees, Chinedu Mbah, for “a bold and strategic move to engage the grassroots and galvanize support across communities.”
“The G17 initiative is not only commendable but necessary at this time,” Nnam said.
“It reflects the voice of the people and demonstrates a clear understanding of the developmental strides Governor Mbah has made. I am proud to identify with such a forward-thinking group.”
According to him, Governor Mbah’s record of performance warrants continuity, and the G17 movement is at the forefront of driving that agenda.
“We’ve seen remarkable progress in urban planning, road construction, education and public service delivery. Leadership like this should not be interrupted. The G17 is helping to ensure that the voice of the grassroots shapes the political direction of our state,” he added.
Nnam, a respected academic and development consultant, further disclosed plans to embark on active mobilisation across all 17 local government areas of the state, leveraging his wide network of political and community stakeholders.
He called on other well-meaning citizens — particularly professionals and technocrats — to rise above partisan lines and support a performing governor who has demonstrated capacity and vision.
“This is not just about politics, it’s about the future of our state. Peter Mbah has shown capacity and we must all contribute to building on this momentum,” Nnam said.
