Former Commissioner for Lands and Urban Development in Enugu State, Professor Victor Nnam has thrown his weight behind the G17 for Peter Mbah movement, a grassroots mobilisation platform championing the re-election of Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah in 2027.
In a statement released to journalists on Thursday, Nnam expressed deep admiration for the group’s mission, describing it as “a timely and people-oriented platform capable of consolidating the gains of the current administration.”
He commended the group’s Convener and Chairman of its Board of Trustees, Hon. Chinedu Mbah, for what he called “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 Nnam, Governor Mbah’s achievements deserve continuity and the G17 is leading the charge.
“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,” Nnam added.
Professor Nnam, a respected academic and development consultant, revealed plans to begin active mobilisation across the 17 local government areas of Enugu State, leveraging his extensive network of political and community contacts.
He urged other well-meaning citizens, especially professionals and technocrats to “rise above partisan politics and rally around a performing governor who has shown genuine commitment to transforming Enugu.”
“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,” he said.
