Barr Ben Nwoye, the Deputy National Chairman (South) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has praised the decision by political leaders and stakeholders in Enugu East Senatorial District to endorse President Bola Tinubu and Governor Peter Mbah for second terms. He characterized this action as a clear indication of political maturity and a dedication to maintaining progress.
Speaking at Okpara Square in Enugu during the endorsement event, Nwoye acknowledged the presence of notable figures, including a former governor of old Anambra State, former Senate President Chief Ken Nnamani, and many founders and leaders of Enugu State. He expressed his admiration for their unified support, stating that their participation reflects a sophisticated understanding of governance.
According to Nwoye, backing continuity in leadership allows for the consolidation of existing achievements and the completion of ongoing projects initiated by both administrations. He specifically commended Governor Mbah for his transformative efforts in infrastructure, economic development, and social programs across Enugu State, noting that these accomplishments have garnered cross-party and cross-regional support.
The APC deputy national chairman also emphasized the importance of the governorship zoning arrangement in Enugu State, which rotates among the three senatorial districts. He credited this system for the peace and political stability experienced since 1999. Nwoye urged stakeholders to uphold this rotation, as it ensures fairness and equitable distribution of power, fostering unity and inclusion.
The gathering at Okpara Square attracted a diverse crowd, including traditional rulers, religious leaders, community representatives, and enthusiastic supporters, all expressing confidence in the leadership of President Tinubu and Governor Mbah. Nwoye concluded by encouraging continued support for the rotational arrangement to sustain the peaceful political atmosphere in the state.
