One Year Of Doing Things Differently: The Peter Mbah Story

Metro, Politics, Security, South East, , , ,
He arguably comes across as the Governor with the best scorecard in 365 days. Ndi Enugu can attest to this truism.

Interestingly I have elected to pen this Tribute in Profound Leadership in his honour exactly one year after that incisive dialogue.…
