Even In PDP, You Terrify Us!” – Keyamo Hails Enugu Governor Peter Mbah’s Rising Power

The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has lauded the developmental strides of Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, describing them as impressive and forward-thinking.

Speaking on Monday during the official launch of Enugu Air in the state capital, Keyamo acknowledged that the ruling party has found it difficult to formulate a strategy capable of surpassing the governor’s achievements.

Despite Governor Mbah being a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Keyamo praised his performance and vision.

Quoting President Tinubu, Keyamo said:

“Dr. Peter Mbah, you’re in PDP, but we’re genuinely worried about you. The pace at which you’re delivering is intimidating. We’re still trying to come up with a plan to match your accomplishments — but we’re watching and planning.”

He added that Mbah’s leadership transcends party affiliations and commended his progressive mindset:

“Politics aside, we must give credit where it’s due. You have a progressive vision and you’ve excelled as one of the best-performing governors in the country.”

On Enugu Air, Keyamo advised the state to ensure the airline is managed efficiently and insulated from political and bureaucratic interference.

“My only advice is: don’t allow Enugu Air to suffer the fate of Nigerian Airways. Run it professionally and avoid delays caused by red tape.”

Enugu Air is set to commence operations with three Embraer jets, establishing a strategic triangular route between Enugu, Abuja, and Lagos.
