FROM CCTV TO GROUNDNUTS: IS PETER MBAH NOW BUYING BACK THE PEOPLE HE KEPT BEHIND SCREENS?

 Governor Peter Mbah must answer one simple question: Why did he pay so much for a handful of groundnuts in Nsukka?

Was that outrageous payment a reflection of the unbearable cost of living Ndi Enugu have endured under his administration, or was it another desperate political stunt to purchase public sympathy ahead of the election?


For nearly three years, ordinary citizens have complained about a governor seemingly shielded from the very people he was elected to serve. Government House, which should be a place of accessibility, was reportedly turn


ed into a fortress where visitors were subjected to CCTV surveillance and remote screening rather than face-to-face engagement.


There have also been disturbing allegations of people being shot. Yet, the same governor who appeared inaccessible behind security barriers and television screens has suddenly discovered the roadside, the market and the ordinary people.


What a remarkable transformation! From CCTV to groundnuts. From remote encounters to roadside photo opportunities. From distance to sudden affection!



But why now?


Why is a governor who could not make himself accessible to ordinary citizens suddenly so interested in buying groundnuts in public? Why the unusually generous payment? Is he supporting a petty trader, or staging an expensive political performance to manufacture goodwill?


If he can splash money on groundnuts during a campaign outing, why can't ordinary families feel that same generosity in their daily struggle to afford food, pay bills and survive the economic hardship in Enugu State?


Let nobody confuse an expensive roadside purchase with good governance. And let nobody mistake campaign generosity for genuine compassion.


You cannot shut the people out for three years and suddenly expect groundnuts to open their hearts when you need their votes!


Ndi Enugu are not political commodities. Their votes are not for sale, and their memories cannot be erased by roadside theatrics.


Governor Mbah must understand that leadership is not measured by how much a governor pays for groundnuts during a campaign, but by how much he improves the lives of the people throughout his tenure.


THE BIG QUESTION REMAINS: IS PETER MBAH BUYING GROUNDNUTS, BUYING GOODWILL, OR TRYING TO BUY BACK THE TRUST OF A PEOPLE HE KEPT BEHIND CCTV SCREENS?


Ndi Enugu deserve answers, not groundnut politics!
