Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council International, an Igbo socio-cultural organization, has advised opposition parties in the recently concluded Enugu State Governorship election to refrain from going to court.
This request comes as major opposition political parties reject the Peoples Democratic Party (PDPannouncement )’s of Peter Mbah as governor-elect.
In response to the parties’ determination to seek a reversal of Mbah’s election, Ohanaeze Youths National President, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, encouraged the disgruntled parties to abandon their plans to challenge Mbah’s mandate in court.

Okwu, in a statement, urged the opposition to accept the olive branch Mbah was offering them and assist build the state.
He said, “we are gladdened that the people of Enugu State gave their mandate to Barr. Peter Mbah, just as we pleaded with them when we gave him our endorsement.
“Now that Mbah has emerged as winner of the election, the time of politicking is over; only one person will be declared winner, but in the real sense of it, everyone won. It is a victory for everyone, including those who contested against him.
“We, therefore, appeal to all the aggrieved parties to sheath their swords and join the governor-elect to move Enugu State forward. The period of litigation always comes with so many distractions and this may not augur well for the State.”

The Ohanaeze youths then called on Mbah to make real his olive branch to the opposition parties.
“We urge the governor-elect to work his talk by embracing the other candidates genuinely and making them part of his government,” he added.
