Enugu PDP Guber Aspirant Joins APC by eaglechild: 6:00am On Dec 03, 2013
A renowned philanthropist and founding chieftain of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Enugu State, Dr. Sam
Onyishi, has decamped to the opposition party, the All
Progressives Congress (APC).
Onyishi who is the Managing Director of Peace Mass
Transit Limited, was welcomed into the APC fold at a
meeting of stakeholders of the party, held on Sunday in
Enugu.
Although the meeting was held behind closed doors, an
insider source disclosed to journalists that Dr Onyishi used
the opportunity to declare his interest to vie for the
governorship of Enugu State in 2015 on APC platform.
When contacted, National Welfare Officer of APC, Emma
Eneukwu who presided over the meeting, confirmed that
Onyishi has joined the party.

What is peace mass transit CEO looking for in politics. This man should have learnt from ifeanyi uba and Ngige. He should go and concentrate in his business.

And who are you to dictate who should be or not be in politics. I bet if it is Gil. Nnaji or Ike Nike, you will be rallying support for them.

What concerns Gil and ike nike with my post. BTW, Gil and ike nike are seasoned politicians while peace Is just another business man trying to experiment on politics. He doesn't have the necessary political wits to survive in politics. He should use his money to do more meaningful things than engaging in political campaigns.

No need resorting to name calling, Google PEACE MASS TRANSIT or SAMUEL Maduka Onyishi, then Google your brothers name lets know how successful they are, Peace is a successful philanthropist who gives scholarships to deserving students for years now, He has about 6 successful companies under his group.

Business success doesn't mean political success, doubt me, ask ifeanyi uba. Am not against peace becoming a politician, am just wondering what he ought to achieve in politics. Quote me anywhere anytime, he won't succeed in politics.

Maybe people will take their share from this man's wealth during compaigning.He is really rich and God may want the money to go round Enugu and its environment. His is welcomed into Nigeria politics and we are waiting for philanthropic nature to make more people millionaires during campaign.

This does not make him a politician. I have known PEACE right from his days in Nsukka Mass Transit and when he ran for House of Assembly and lost. He is just not a politician. His philanthropy aside, he is just going to make a lot of noise, spend a lot of money and end up like Ifeanyi Ubah.

I bet what brought him into the race is the fact that the governorship will be zoned to Nsukka zone. He knows that the PDP will not give him ticket, Okey Ezeah is in control of LP in the state and Brig- gen Okoloagu (retd) holds sway in APGA. The only option is to hitch a ride with the APC that Hon Dubem Onyia seem to have abandoned for Osita Okechukwu, who is a newspaper politician.

They will only squander his money( he has a lot afterall) and make more enemies for him than he can contain after the elections. He is a business man, let him concentrate on his business cos real business men make bad politicians and real politicians make bad businessmen.

I doubt if he will quit, I heard reliably that he was walked out of PDP stakeholders meeting in Enugu. He has the cash to spend.
Re: Enugu PDP Guber Aspirant Joins APC by basilo101: 5:20pm On Dec 03, 2013
Onyishi means blind man in central igbo but in nsuka dialect, it also means d eldest man. Evri village in nsuka has an "onyishi" which is a title dat automatically goes 2 d eldest man in dat village. Maybe d term was coin in those days wen ppl stay veri long that dey might has bn blind b4 dey becum d eldest

Good development! People are beginning to see APC as a very good alternative to PDP. Our democracy is moving forward, just like Republicans and Democrats in the US.

Let him vie. He will b d Andy Uba & Ngige of Enugu State. We need his money; it is becoming too much for him.
