Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah yesterday commended the people for always standing up for truth and justice like their forebears. Addressing the mammoth crowd, he said: “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.” 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 stabilisation of 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 pledged to continue to justify the confidence reposed in him by the people, also assuring them that President Tinubu would not let them down.
