Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah has denied allegations that he ordered the withdrawal of the Amadeo Event Centre for a Nigeria Democratic Congress town hall meeting featuring Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso, calling the claim false and preposterous. The event, scheduled for October 29, 2026, was cancelled less than 24 hours before it was to take place, with NDC officials alleging state government pressure, though Mbah stated he had no involvement in the venue's decision.
Separately, African Democratic Congress governorship candidate Chief Ocho Obodoeze accused the Mbah administration of anti-people policies, including unfulfilled promises on water supply, property demolitions in Enugu and Nsukka, lack of compensation, excessive taxation, and favouring non-indigenes in appointments and contracts. He claimed these actions caused hardship, depression, and deaths among affected residents, and pledged to reverse such policies if elected in 2027.
