The All Progressives Congress and entrepreneurs have commended Governor Peter Mbah for the remarkable achievements recorded under his administration in the last three and a half years.

They gave the commendation on Wednesday at the unveiling of the Compendium of Achievements of the Mbah Administration, held at the International Conference Centre, Enugu.

Speaking at the event, APC national chairman (South), Ben Nwoye, said the achievements recorded by the Mbah administration within three years demonstrated the knowledge, intelligence and capacity required to transform the state.

Mr Nwoye urged Enugu residents to carefully assess the administration’s achievements ahead of the 2027 governorship election. He said the scale of development documented in the compendium indicated that Mbah deserved another term to consolidate the projects and reforms already initiated.

The APC chieftain also appealed to residents of Enugu North and Enugu West senatorial districts to support the continuation of the administration. He argued that political succession plans in the state should respect its tradition of allowing governors to serve two terms.

He noted that previous Enugu governors, including Chimaroke Nnamani, Sullivan Chime and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, served two terms, noting that Mr Mbah should also be allowed to complete eight years in office.

Mr Nwoye urged APC members and supporters to begin grassroots mobilisation ahead of the forthcoming elections and ensure the administration’s achievements were properly communicated to the electorate.

The Enugu APC chairman, Martin Chukwunweike, said the party would use the achievements documented in the compendium as a major campaign tool.

Mr Chukwunweike said the Mbah administration’s performance had already contributed to the party’s electoral successes, adding that the same achievements would help the party secure victory in subsequent elections.

Speaking on behalf of the organised private sector in Enugu, COPEN Group’s boss, Ugo Chime, commended Mbah for what he described as the “powerful, disruptive and innovative work” his administration is carrying out.

Mr Chime said the private sector had earlier recognised Mbah as one of its own, brought into government to apply private-sector experience to governance.
