ENDORSEMENT POLITICS: PETER MBAH AND THE IMAGINARY 100M NAIRA STUDENTS' ENDORSEMENT
Excerpt: Political commentator Martins Chidiebere Ekwueme has strongly criticized the recent student endorsement rally for Governor Peter Mbah, describing it as a “stage-managed media stunt” aimed at influencing public perception ahead of the 2027 elections. The article questions the credibility of claims that struggling students could mobilize massive financial support for the governor amid rising economic hardship, increased taxation, and worsening living conditions in Enugu State. Ekwueme argues that no amount of orchestrated endorsements or media-driven publicity can overshadow the frustrations of ordinary citizens, insisting that the growing dissatisfaction across communities, markets, and villages will ultimately shape the political outcome in 2027.
