2027 elections: PMCG activates 260 wards, 17 LGAs for Mbah, APC in Enugu

The Peter Mbah Continuity Group (PMCG) has activated a grassroots mobilisation structure across Enugu state, inaugurating its state, three zonal, 17 Local Government Areas (LGAs) and 260 ward executive committees on Friday in Enugu ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The group inaugurated the structures at the Enugu International Conference Centre, Friday, with a charge to the newly appointed executive to take Mbah’s development agenda to the grassroots, and mobilise support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) and all 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, Dr. Martilord Ifeanyichi, 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 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 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, the Senior Special Adviser on Media and Communication to Ngwu, Dr. Luke Mgboh, commended PMCG for building what he described as “a formidable grassroots structure.”

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; former Commissioner for Transport, Hon. Dr. Peter Andy Omeje, and the APC candidate for Igbo-Eze South State Constituency, Hon. Mrs. Favour Asogwa, praised the PMCG leadership for establishing “a broad-based political structure.”

The Special Adviser to the Governor on Political Matters, Hon. Chief Frank Anioma, inaugurated the executive on behalf of the governor.
