Ohaa's Resignation: No Threat to Governor Mbah's Candidacy

The resignation of Chief Chinyeaka Ohaa from his position as chairman of the Enugu State University of Science and Technology has raised eyebrows regarding his political aspirations, particularly for the governorship ticket of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in 2023. The article asserts that any conspiracy against the current governor, Dr. Peter Mbah, is "dead on arrival." It highlights the historical context of power rotation in Enugu State, emphasizing that the political landscape is shaped by longstanding agreements among local elites.

Ohaa's ambitions are complicated by the traditional zoning arrangements, which have seen power rotate among different local government areas. The article notes that influential figures, including former governors like Chief Jim Nwobodo and current governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, support Mbah's candidacy, making it difficult for Ohaa to gain traction.

It concludes that the electorate in Enugu State is unlikely to support a candidate who disrupts the established political order.
