The Peter Mbah Continuity Group (PMCG), a diaspora-supported pro-Mbah political group, on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, inaugurated its State, three Zonal, 17 Local Government and 260 Ward Executive Committees across Enugu State, with a charge to intensify grassroots mobilisation and canvassing ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The inauguration ceremony, held at the Enugu International Conference Centre, attracted prominent political leaders, government officials, traditional rulers, party stakeholders and thousands of enthusiastic members of the group. The event featured solidarity songs and expressions of support for Governor Peter Mbah and the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In his address, the Convener and Global Coordinator of PMCG, Asst. Prof. Dr. Martilord Ifeanyichi (MBBS, PhD), said the broad-based structure was established to deepen grassroots engagement and strengthen awareness of Governor Mbah’s development agenda across the 260 wards of the State.
Dr. Ifeanyichi explained that PMCG was formed by what he described as patriotic Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora who, having observed the performance of Governor Mbah during his first three and a half years in office, resolved to support the administration’s development agenda.
According to him, the Group’s mandate goes beyond political mobilisation, as it also seeks to translate government policies, programmes and achievements into simple language that ordinary citizens can understand, while serving as a bridge between the government and the people.
In a goodwill message delivered on behalf of Distinguished Senator Osita Ngwu, Senator representing Enugu West Senatorial District, his Senior Special Adviser on Media and Communication, Dr. Luke Mgboh, commended PMCG for its commitment to Governor Mbah and the APC.
Dr. Mgboh assured the Group of the Senator’s continued support for initiatives aimed at strengthening the party and mobilising grassroots support for Governor Mbah and other APC candidates ahead of the 2027 elections.
Also speaking at the event, the Commissioner for Special Duties, Hon. Emeka Ajogwu; Special Adviser to Governor on Health, Hon Dr. Yomi Jaye; former Chairman of Igbo-Eze South LGA and former Commissioner for Transport, Hon. Dr. Peter Andy Omeje; and the APC candidate for Igbo-Eze South State Constituency, Hon. Mrs. Favour Asogwa, commended the leadership of PMCG for establishing what they described as a broad-based and strategic grassroots structure.
They noted that the extensive structure of the group would provide an effective platform for taking the administration’s achievements directly to the people, strengthening grassroots engagement and mobilising support for the APC ahead of the 2027 elections.
The Special Adviser to the Governor on Political Matters, Hon. Chief Frank Anioma, inaugurated the executives on behalf of the Governor. He commended PMCG for what he described as its deliberate effort to promote new faces and broaden political participation.
Chief Anioma charged the newly inaugurated executives to remain united, peaceful and focused in the discharge of their responsibilities, urging them to work collaboratively across the State, Zonal, Local Government and Ward structures.
In his goodwill message, the Chairman of the PMCG Elders Council and Chairman of the Traditional Rulers’ Council in Igbo-Eze South LGA, HRM Igwe Okechukwu Agbaji, Enyi of Unadu Ancient Kingdom, applauded the formation and structure of the group.
Igwe Agbaji urged members to uphold the values of peace, unity, service and responsible leadership, while praying for the success of PMCG and the continued peace and development of Enugu State.
In an address delivered on behalf of Governor Peter Mbah and the Secretary to the State Government (SSG) by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Diaspora Matters, Hon. Barr. Mrs. Olangwa Ezekwu, the government appreciated PMCG for its support and commitment to the administration. She noted that this is the first diaspora support group to establish physical, on-the-ground grassroots structures.
The newly inaugurated executives were charged to embark on aggressive grassroots mobilisation and canvassing to secure massive support and votes for all APC candidates in Enugu State in the 2027 general elections. The Government representatives also reiterated the administration’s commitment to infrastructure development, security and economic transformation.
The high point of the ceremony was the formal inauguration of the State, Zonal, Local Government and Ward Executive Committees of PMCG, followed by the decoration of Governor Mbah as Grand Patron of the Group with a branded cap and T-shirt.
Meanwhile, PMCG also unveiled its almanac, providing a pictorial synopsis of the major achievements of the Mbah administration.
