Mr Peter Mbah
By Emeka Ugwuonye
By its classical definition, kleptocracy is a government whose corrupt leaders use political power to expropriate the wealth of the people and land they govern, typically by embezzling or misappropriating government funds at the expense of the wider population. For nearly 24 years, Peter Mbah has been a part of the gang that has robbed Enugu State blind. He hopes to continue for the next four year. And I hope to stop him.
I am from Enugu State. I was born and raised there. My life began there and should end there. I have every reason to show concern for what is going on Enugu State. When in 2023 elections we witnessed the grand theft of votes by Peter Mbah and the robbing of the people of their votes, I could not keep quiet any longer. I got to know who Edeoga was only three days to that election. I just saw his name as the Labor Candidate. The only candidate I knew prior to the elections was Frank. If you read my post on the Enugu elections, which I published few days before the elections, you would notice that I misspelt the name of Edeoga. That shows you how much I knew of him before the elections.
However, after the elections and I saw the massive rigging and daylight robbery of votes by Peter Mbah and his team, I had to speak out. I did it purely out of genuine concern of Enugu State, my place of birth, the place where Ezeani Ugwuonye, my grandfather was born. Initially, I did not intend to do more than that first post. However, I had underestimated Peter Mbah and his team. The level of theft and criminality behind their operations is mind-boggling. As you know, when I get involved in any investigation, I go deep and I connect all the dots. I don’t stop, I don’t give up until the truth is out.
Peter Mbah is so rattled by my involvement such that he has mobilized all his dogs of war, all his thugs, all those they use to assassinate opponents in Enugu State, up to the killing of candidate Oyibo Chukwu: Mbah has mobilized them to wage information attacks on me, and possibly to assassinate me as they are so used to doing. He just sponsored some hooligans to publish the following crap about me. They wrote:
“Why Edeoga Recruited an Internationally Acclaimed Rogue, Emeka Ephraim Ugwuonye, to do Dirty Duty for him, By Eze Nwamadi, Ogbonna Asadu and Ezema Igwenunu”
Their belief is that I will be scared of their intimidation. But that shows how dumb and daft Peter Mbah is. He does not know that the era of assassination of political opponents is over. In the brief investigation I have done, I have shown the massive ways Peter Mbah forged documents about his NYSC program, how he manipulated and forged the institutional operations of NYSC. We have also begun to look into the criminal trial of Mbah after the reign of Chimaroke in 2007. We are looking into the deal made with EFCC prosecutors and operatives that resulted in the EFCC finding companies owned and managed by Mbah guilty of crime, but however, let Mbah off. If the company is guilty, who ran that company? Who were the human beings who led the companies to commit the crimes. What happened to the huge assets of Enugu State that were forfeited? The assets of the companies belonged to Enugu State, which was why they were arrested and indicted. Where are those assets? Who took them? What Peter Mbah does not know is that it would not end with the deal he might have made with the EFCC. Vast assets of Enugu State were involved. So, it would not go away with a plea deal with the EFCC officers. And by the way, we just heard that an EFCC building just got burnt by fire in Enugu. When I heard that, I laughed. It sounded like a classical operation. The gang in Enugu state is burning down records that will incriminate them. The fire occurred less than a week after I first pointed at the plea deal Mbah made with the EFCC after his arrest and indictment.
I am also now looking into the entire chain and process through which Peter Mbah built Pinnacle Oil. Where did the money come from? In 2003, he was a poor miserable Youth Corper, and then a Commissioner until 2007, when he was charged with theft of Enugu State resources. How did he get the money to build the Pinnacle Oil? Who has he been fronting for? Why does he think that he could steal the governorship of Enugu State?
I am happy that Peter Mbah is urinating in his panties right now because I am on his case. I will only get deeper and deeper. How did he get the funding for his campaign? Who paid for what? And how much of Enugu State assets did he pledge to those who financed his campaign? Why has he and his team been auctioning Enugu State assets in such a mind-boggling manner? This investigation will continue and will get deeper.
I am happy that Peter Mbah and his team are desperate to stop me and my effort to expose them. But they will realize soon that the noose will only tighten on them in the fullness of time. Enugu State cannot be stolen just like that. For almost 24 years, Peter Mbah has been part of the gang that plundered and robbed the State blind. It is time for them to go. That was why majority of Enugu people voted for Labor Party in the last election. But Mbah, knowing that so much was at stake, understood the votes of the people as an existential threat to the kleptocracy he represents. Let’s see how it lays out. Enugu State cannot be raped and robbed the way Peter Mbah and his team have planned to.
