Three Years of Peter Mbah: Questions Over Performance and accountability in Enugu

It is quite telling that an entire article praising Governor Peter Mbah’s “extraordinary performance” fails to mention even one verifiable achievement. Not one project completed and functional. Not one sector transformed in measurable terms. Just insults, noise, and empty adjectives.

That alone says everything.

Because governance is not about abuse or propaganda, it is about results that people can see, feel, and benefit from. After three years in office, what exactly has this government delivered to Ndi Enugu?

“Smart Schools” Without Substance

We were promised world-class smart schools. What we see are: mere building structures — blocks and paint, no visible deployment of real digital infrastructure, teachers now being forced to buy laptops with their own salaries, to be repaid later

Since when did “smart education” mean burdening poorly paid teachers instead of equipping classrooms? A smart school is not a building; it is technology, content, connectivity, and trained personnel. Where are those?

“Modern Hospitals” Without Equipment

We were shown impressive hospital buildings. But healthcare is not concrete, it is equipment, doctors, functional systems. Today, existing facilities like Uwani Clinic, Oji River, and others remain neglected. New structures are empty shells without critical equipment

So the question remains: are we building hospitals, or just photograph locations for media teams?

Government of Procurement, Not Development

The pattern is clear: Award contracts, announce figures, Move to the next projec. But no transparency, no value tracking, no completion accountability. And we all know how procurement works in Nigeria: What should cost ₦30 million suddenly becomes ₦350 million. So is this governance or organized contracting?

Over-Taxing the Poor Without Service Delivery

Enugu now boasts of ₦400 billion generated, Projection of ₦800 billion, yet traders are overburdened with taxes, petty businesses are squeezed daily, no corresponding improvement in water supply, roads, healthcare, education. So where is the money going? A government that taxes aggressively without improving lives is not reforming; it is extracting.

No Industrial Growth

After three years, no major industries, no manufacturing base expansion, no clear job creation pipeline. Young people are still idle, migrating and struggling. What exactly is the economic vision beyond taxation?

Unfinished Roads Everywhere

Roads announced since 2023 are still incomplete, abandoned and low-moving,Yet the propaganda continues. Development is not in announcements; it is in completion.

Land Grabs Disguised as Urban Expansion

Rural communities are now being eclassified on paper, their lands absorbed under “urban expansion”. This becomes the basis for inflated IGR figures. Meanwhile, the people lose their ancestral lands and gain nothing in return.

Unpaid Obligations

While billions are being announced, contractors are owed, pensioners are owed, gratuities remain unpaid. So where is the money going? When a government cannot point to clear achievements, relies on insults instead of evidence, builds structures without functionality, taxes aggressively without service delivery.

Then no amount of propaganda can hide the truth. Performance is not declared, it is demonstrated, and today, Ndi Enugu are asking a simple question; after three years… where are the results?
