Total Shutdown As Enugu West Zone Endorses Tinubu, Mbah For 2nd Term


The people of Enugu West Senatorial District have endorsed President Bola Tinubu and the governor of Enugu State, Peter Mbah, for a second term in office.

They also cited the President and governor’s policies, projects, programmes, and interventions that have positively impacted the nation, South East, and Enugu State in particular.

To make good on the endorsements, the people, who swarmed the Awgu Local Government Secretariat field in their thousands on Saturday, also presented a cheque for the sum of N100 million to Dr. Mbah for the purchase of his nomination form, vowing to defend their position with their last vote.

This was even as former Senate President Ken Nnamani dismissed promises by some gubernatorial and presidential aspirants to do just one term, saying they were not being sincere with Nigerians.

Conducting the endorsement process, the lawmaker representing Enugu West Senatorial Zone, Senator Osita Ngwu, said their decision was based on conviction informed by evident results rather than sheer politics.

Ngwu said: “Today, we can see the best Command and Control Centre to help improve our security in Enugu. “We have Smart Schools in every one of our wards.

We have seen Type-2 Healthcare Centres. We have seen roads. “Before now, if you were going to Aguobu Owa through 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.”
