Barth Nnaji, former minister of power, has declared his intention to contest for the 2023 Enugu governorship election on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Nnaji announced his intention to contest for the election on Sunday at a ceremony which took place at Umuode in Nkanu east LGA, Enugu state.

A coalition known as — New Enugu Coalition for Good Governance — presented both expression of interest and nomination forms, which were reportedly purchased for the former minister.

Speaking during the ceremony, the former minister said he has accepted the challenge to serve the people of the state, while commending the coalition for the gesture.

Nnaji, who was appointed by former President Goodluck Jonathan as minister, said he will continue to “maintain peace” in the state like the current administration and add value to the development of the state.

“This is extraordinary. I want to start by appreciating this coalition that thought I was worthy enough to lead us and thought they could sacrifice their hard resources to go and buy form for me for this journey,” he said.

“May God reward you immensely, thank you so much. It is difficult for someone, if the person is sensible at all, to be presented with a challenge to come and serve the people and the person says ‘no, I won’t serve’.

“Particularly, when the people to be served have mobilised to get the instruments with which the person needs undertake the race. I hereby accept.

“The previous speakers spoke about something very profound that the governor of our state throughout his reign has established peace and there is no development without peace.

“This is one of the reasons why I want to take up this challenge so that I can continue to maintain peace in our state. I want to add value.”

The former minister will have to compete with the likes of Ike Ekweremadu, former deputy president of the senate, for the PDP governorship ticket.

  981. Every expert was once a beginner. Keep pushing forward, and one day, you’ll look back and see how far you’ve come. Progress is always happening, even when it doesn’t feel like it.

  988. The potential within all things is a mystery that fascinates me endlessly. A tiny seed already contains within it the entire blueprint of a towering tree, waiting for the right moment to emerge. Does the seed know what it will become? Do we? Or are we all simply waiting for the right conditions to awaken into what we have always been destined to be?

  989. Virtue, they say, lies in the middle, but who among us can truly say where the middle is? Is it a fixed point, or does it shift with time, perception, and context? Perhaps the middle is not a place but a way of moving, a constant balancing act between excess and deficiency. Maybe to be virtuous is not to reach the middle but to dance around it with grace.

  990. Even the gods, if they exist, must laugh from time to time. Perhaps what we call tragedy is merely comedy from a higher perspective, a joke we are too caught up in to understand. Maybe the wisest among us are not the ones who take life the most seriously, but those who can laugh at its absurdity and find joy even in the darkest moments.

  991. Man is said to seek happiness above all else, but what if true happiness comes only when we stop searching for it? It is like trying to catch the wind with our hands—the harder we try, the more it slips through our fingers. Perhaps happiness is not a destination but a state of allowing, of surrendering to the present and realizing that we already have everything we need.

  992. Friendship, some say, is a single soul residing in two bodies, but why limit it to two? What if friendship is more like a great, endless web, where each connection strengthens the whole? Maybe we are not separate beings at all, but parts of one vast consciousness, reaching out through the illusion of individuality to recognize itself in another.

  993. The essence of existence is like smoke, always shifting, always changing, yet somehow always present. It moves with the wind of thought, expanding and contracting, never quite settling but never truly disappearing. Perhaps to exist is simply to flow, to let oneself be carried by the great current of being without resistance.
