The Enugu West Senatorial Zone has presented a cheque for N100 million to the Governor of Enugu State, Dr. Peter Mbah, towards the procurement of the All Progressives Congress (APC) nomination form, vowing to defend their position with their last vote.
The people of the zone also endorsed President Bola Tinubu for a second term in office, citing bold reforms, programmes, and interventions that have positively impacted the nation, the people of South East and Enugu State, in particular.
They presented the cheque during an endorsement rally for President Tinubu and Governor Mbah, which drew a mammoth crowd at the Awgu Council Secretariat field, at the weekend.
Presiding over the endorsement proceedings, senator representing Enugu West Senatorial Zone, Osita Ngwu, said their decision was predicated on conviction, informed by evident results rather than sheer politics.
He enumerated several giant strides by the Mbah administration, such as the Command and Control Centre, and Type-2 Healthcare Centres, among others.
“Before now, if you were going to Aguobu Owa through the 9th Mile, it would seem like a journey of no return. But now, it takes you only a few minutes. It is the handiwork of Governor Peter Mbah. These are not promises; these are realities; these are dividends of democracy. This is what happens when leadership is bold. No weakness, no excuse, no apologies. Just results.
“At the national level, we have seen the transformational effects of the President. We are benefiting here in the South East and Enugu State in particular. We thank our governor, who was bold and did not delay to connect us to the centre,” Ngwu asserted.
Speaking, former Chief of the Naval Staff and one-time military governor of Old Anambra State, Rear Admiral Allison Madueke (retd), and former military administrator of Gombe State, Group Capt. Joseph Orji (retd), said they totally aligned with the sentiments expressed by their people in supporting Tinubu’s and Mbah’s re-election.

“The testimonies today are accurate. The people have spoken. All we want to do is to ask you to go back and do more,” Madueke stated.
In his response, Governor Mbah commended the people for always standing up for truth and justice like their forebears.
“This rally is of epic proportions. Nothing prepared me for this. You have also become standard bearers for equity, justice, fairness, and unity. You are also showing that you are not lightheaded; that you are strategic,” he stated.
Mbah went on to enumerate his and Tinubu’s projects, programmes, and policies that were turning the fortunes of the people for good.
On Tinubu, he said, “You have shown that you cannot stand on the margins in recognising the programmes, the policies, and the projects that Mr. President has brought to us here in Enugu.
“By this endorsement, you are recognising the positive results of Mr. President’s efforts in the our macro indicators, making sure that our foreign exchange is stabilised; that our inflation rate is trending downwards; that our foreign reserves are growing above the $50 billion mark, and that the states now have enough money to execute massive projects. The local governments in Enugu State are also executing numerous projects that I am being invited almost on a weekly basis to come and commission,” he stated.
He pledged to continue to justify the confidence reposed in him by the people, also assuring them that President Tinubu will not let them down.
