The Peter Mbah Continuity Group (PMCG) has activated a massive grassroots mobilisation structure across Enugu State, inaugurating its state, three zonal, 17 local governments and 260 ward executive committees ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The diaspora-supported pro-Mbah political group inaugurated the structures at the Enugu International Conference Centre, with a charge to the newly appointed executives to take Governor Peter Mbah’s development agenda to the grassroots and mobilise support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidates.
The ceremony attracted political leaders, government officials, traditional rulers, APC stakeholders and thousands of PMCG members, who expressed support for the governor, amid solidarity songs and chants.
Speaking at the event, the Convener and Global Coordinator of PMCG, Asst. Prof. Martilord Ifeanyichi (MBBS, PhD), said the extensive structure was designed to deepen grassroots engagement and ensure that residents across the state’s 260 wards understood the policies, programmes, and achievements of the Mbah administration.
Ifeanyichi said PMCG was established by what he described as patriotic Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora, who, having assessed the governor’s performance during his first three and a half years in office, resolved to support his development agenda.
He explained that the group’s mandate extended beyond political mobilisation, stressing that it would also simplify government policies and achievements for ordinary citizens and serve as a bridge between the administration and the people.
“PMCG is not just about politics. It is also about communication, engagement, and ensuring that the people understand what the government is doing and how they can benefit from it,” he said.
In a goodwill message delivered on behalf of the Senator representing Enugu West Senatorial District, Senator Osita Ngwu, his Senior Special Adviser on Media and Communication, Dr. Luke Mgboh, commended PMCG for building what he described as a formidable grassroots structure.
Mgboh assured the group of the senator’s continued support for initiatives aimed at strengthening the APC and mobilising grassroots support for Governor Mbah and other party candidates ahead of the 2027 elections.
Also speaking, the Commissioner for Special Duties, Hon. Emeka Ajogwu; Special Adviser to the Governor on Health, Hon. Dr. Yomi Jaye; former Chairman of Igbo-Eze South Local Government Area and former Commissioner for Transport, Dr. Peter Andy Omeje; and the APC candidate for Igbo-Eze South State Constituency, Mrs. Favour Asogwa, praised the PMCG leadership for establishing what they described as a broad-based political structure.

They said the network would provide an effective platform for taking the administration’s achievements directly to communities and strengthening political participation and grassroots mobilisation ahead of the 2027 elections.
The Special Adviser to the Governor on Political Matters, Chief Frank Anioma, who inaugurated the executives on behalf of the governor, commended PMCG for its deliberate effort to bring new faces into political participation.
Anioma charged the newly inaugurated executives to remain united, peaceful, and focused, urging them to work collaboratively across the state, zonal, local government and ward structures. He said the success of the structure would depend on discipline, unity, and effective coordination at the grassroots.
In his goodwill message, the Chairman of the PMCG Elders Council and Chairman of the Traditional Rulers’ Council in Igbo-Eze South LGA, HRM Igwe Okechukwu Agbaji, Enyi of Unadu Ancient Kingdom, applauded the group for what he described as its strategic structure and grassroots orientation.
Igwe Agbaji urged members to uphold peace, unity, service, and responsible leadership, while praying for the continued peace and development of Enugu State.
In an address delivered on behalf of Governor Mbah and the Secretary to the State Government, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Diaspora Matters, Mrs. Olangwa Ezekwu, appreciated PMCG for its support for the administration.
Ezekwu noted that PMCG was the first diaspora-supported group to establish physical, on-the-ground grassroots structures across the state. She reiterated the administration’s commitment to infrastructure development, security, and economic transformation, while urging the newly inaugurated executives to intensify their engagement with communities.
The executives were, subsequently, charged to embark on aggressive grassroots mobilisation and canvassing to secure massive support and votes for APC candidates in Enugu State in the 2027 general elections.
The high point of the ceremony was the formal inauguration of the state, zonal, local government, and ward executive committees, followed by the decoration of Governor Mbah as the Grand Patron of PMCG, with a branded cap and T-shirt.
The group also unveiled its almanac, a pictorial publication highlighting major projects and achievements of the Mbah administration. The organisers explained that the almanac would serve as a grassroots mobilisation and sensitisation tool by providing residents with accessible information on government projects, programmes, and development initiatives.
