From Okey Sampson, Umuahia
Chairman, Board of Trustees (BoT) of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Adolphus Wabara, has lauded governors elected on the platform of the party, for their impactful second year in office.
Wabara, a former president of the Senate, said PDP governors in their respective states had demonstrated “capacity, competence, and inclusivity – key values that have always distinguished PDP from other parties.”
He said he was thrilled by the reports of the performances of PDP governors, coming from multiple channels.
Senator Wabara who cited what he described as “the superlative scorecard” posted by Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State, said many PDP-controlled states “are alive and thriving despite the harsh economic climate occasioned by the bad policies of the All Progressives Congress, APC-led federal government.”
He particularly praised Governor Mbah “for setting the bar so high in key sectors of the economy such as education, health care, infrastructure, industry, high-tech, agriculture among others.”
Wabara said Mbah’s “visionary leadership, lofty dreams and approach to governance”, had launched Enugu into “a leading economy in the South East, and a model of excellence in the country.”
Senator Wabara commended other PDP state governors for their uncommon developmental strides, and urged them to sustain the tempo in the remaining half of their administration.
“I’m very proud of the impressive reports of the midterm scorecard of our various governors. They have rekindled the hope of the people by performing creditably despite the miserable state of our economy due to the ill-advised policies of the APC-led federal government.
“This is a testament that with PDP in charge, Nigeria will be great again. All hope is not lost.”
The PDP BoT chairman who said efforts were being intensified by elders of the party to resolve the lingering leadership crisis in the party, predicted brighter future for the PDP.
He urged members still contemplating of dumping the party to perish the thought.
