All 17 candidates in the governorship poll hail from Enugu East District due to a power rotation arrangement in the state
Although PDP has enjoyed dominance in the state for the past 24 years – winning all elections in the state within the period until the recent presidenial election – Mr Mbah is sweating over the growing popularity of the LP in the state.
Again, despite Mr Mbah’s acclaimed competence and capacity, residents of the state appear unwilling to continue with the PDP in the state. Aside from that, Mr Edeoga’s chances appear to have gained more strength considering that he is being backed by Nsukka people in Enugu North District, which has the highest voting strength in the state.The reason for the Nsukka’s widespread support for Mr Edeoga is not far-fetched. Mr Edeoga hails from Isi-Uzo Local Government Area of the state.
He claimed those who presented their manifestoes in the past were not held accountable after winning their elections.Mr Nweke, the APGA candidate, is another governorship hopeful likely to cause an upset in the state. Widely loved across the state, the former minister appears to be an alternative to those revolting against the PDP and who believe that their support for Mr Obi should not be transferred to LP candidates who, according to them, lack character, capacity and competence.
