Enugu East people endorse Governor Mbah and President Tinubu for second terms

In a significant display of political solidarity, the people of Enugu East Senatorial district have formally endorsed Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State and President Bola Tinubu for their respective second terms in office. The endorsement, solidified at the 'Ofu Obi Mega Rally,' signals a commitment to deliver massive votes for both leaders in the upcoming 2027 general election.

Supporters, known as the Nkanu clan, lauded Governor Mbah's administration for transforming Enugu State. They pointed to tangible progress in job creation for youth, infrastructure modernization, community security, and advancements in education, healthcare, agriculture, transportation, and technology, asserting these were no longer mere promises but evident realities.

“

Across all the sectors, the evidence of transformational leadership is speaking louder than propaganda. The people can see the difference. The people can testify that Enugu State is moving forward with confidence and speed.

The rally also highlighted the benefits of the state's connection with the federal government under President Tinubu. The Nkanu people noted strategic appointments, key projects, and federal interventions as dividends of this partnership, reinforcing their support for the current administration at both state and federal levels.

“

I am one of those who said that Mbah has vision and he is rich in ideas and educational strategy. But if you are rich in certificate forgery, you can’t make a good leader. Nkanu people don’t associate with such shameful acts, people who procure certificates at Oluwole Street. If there are people aspiring to occupy offices, they must check their records properly.

Adding substantial backing to the endorsement, the Enugu East district pledged N300 million towards Governor Mbah's reelection campaign. Traditional rulers presented the governor with an Ofo staff, a symbol of authority, justice, and endorsement, during the event held at Okpara Square, Enugu.

Former Senate President Ken Nnamani, speaking at the rally, emphasized the importance of integrity in leadership. He cautioned against individuals involved in certificate forgery or those dismissed from federal appointments, stating they were unfit for the governorship. Nnamani also warned against aspiring leaders driven by anger rather than vision, asserting that such motivations would lead to poor governance.

“

Anyone who cannot hold a federal office with pride or confidence has nothing to aspire to in seeking a state office. Again, anybody who is aspiring to be governor or anything else out of anger because you felt that the incumbent annoyed you will make a terrible governor if you come in. That means you have no vision. You are coming in with anger and if you come in with anger, you will do the wrong thing.
