Critics Fault Alleged Use of Untidy Government Facility During APC Primaries Attended by Peter Mbah

Political discussions intensified across Enugu State on Saturday, May 17, 2026, following allegations surrounding the participation of Peter Mbah in APC primary-related activities held in Owo.

Critics who reacted to photos and videos from the event expressed disappointment over the condition of the venue, which they described as dirty, poorly maintained, and unsuitable for a gathering involving high-profile political stakeholders.

According to opposition voices, the environment appeared untidy with concerns raised over sanitation, organization, and the general appearance of the government-linked facility allegedly used during the exercise.

Some commentators argued that public facilities are expected to reflect order, cleanliness, and proper maintenance, especially during official or politically sensitive events involving senior government figures.

The controversy further fueled debates online, with critics questioning why a venue allegedly connected to government operations would be allowed to remain in what they termed an embarrassing condition.

Supporters of Governor Mbah, however, dismissed the criticisms as politically motivated, maintaining that attempts were being made to create unnecessary controversy around the governor’s movements and political interactions.

As of Saturday evening, no official response had been issued by the Enugu State Government regarding the allegations and criticisms circulating online.

Political observers say the incident highlights the growing level of political tension and scrutiny surrounding public appearances and political activities involving major political actors ahead of the 2027 political season in Enugu State.
