Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, on Friday hailed the Supreme Court’s judgment which upheld his election.
He said now that distractions were over, he would redouble his efforts in delivering his mandate to make the state better.
Mbah spoke in Enugu while reacting to the apex court’s verdict which dismissed the appeal of the Labour Party’s governorship candidate, Chijioke Edeoga.
He described the judicial journey as a huge emotional journey as well as a “physical and spiritual investment for the people of Enugu, thanking them for their support.”

“We wish to express our profound gratitude to the learned justices for keeping the wheel of justice rolling. We specifically thank them for upholding your mandate.
“Ndi Enugu, you are the victors of this judicial journey. I salute your dogged belief in us. Your unalloyed support and prayers at every attempt to subvert your mandate can never be lost on us. We do not take them for granted. Now that these distractions are over, it is time to redouble our efforts to serve you.
“We’ll double down on our earlier resolve to serve you with every fibre of our being. The reward of your resolute support will come in our rededication to do things that have to do with the ordinary people of Enugu State. We will give more attention to your welfare, development and good living,” he stated.
