2023: Transporters Drum Support For Ugwuanyi, Peter Mbah

Members of the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN) have thrown their weight behind Enugu State Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi as he seeks to represent Enugu North Senatorial zone at the Senate.

They also pledged to support the governorship candidate of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), Peter Mbah.

The group which gathered at Okpara Square marched through the major streets in the Enugu metropolis to register their support for Ugwuanyi and Mbah's victory in 2023.

Addressing the crowd at Okpara square, the state chairman of RTEAN, Comrade Chidiebele Aniagu said they are supporting Ugwuanyi's aspirations based on his numerous achievements in the state.

They said that the Governor achieved success despite economic and security challenges due to his love for peace which the RTEAN have been enjoying since his inauguration as governor.

While assuring the association's unalloyed support to Ugwuanyi and Mbah, Aniagu urged him to continue where Ugwuanyi stopped to allow the state to enjoy peace in the state.

"We are here to endorse Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and his anointed candidate, Barr Peter Mbah.

"Why we are supporting them is that the governor has been so supportive to us and for over seven years he has taken over the leadership, there have been no problems in the transport sector.

"Our business has been moving smoothly and that's why we are here to endorse him and his anointed son, Peter Mbah.

"Since we are in charge of road transport workers of Nigeria, we are in charge of transport and believe we have at least over 40,000 members.

"I believe that whoever we support is already a winner. Peter Mbah is already a winner and Ugwuanyi is also a winner. We call him papa Enugu because of what he is doing to the people of Enugu State. 

"We give him 100 per cent support and we also ask the incoming to start where he stopped so that we will continue having peace.

"RTEAN has created no less than 7,000 jobs for the youths and it reduces crime in the state. 

Comrade Aniagu however begged the incoming governor to give them an enabling environment to run their business.

"We are supporting Peter Mbah because we have trust in him and he is a businessman. We are begging him to give us enabling environment to run our business."
