The Chairman of Nkanu West Local Government Area, Hon. John Chukwuma Ogbodo, has congratulated Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah on emerging as the All Progressives Congress (APC) consensus candidate for the 2027 governorship election in Enugu State.
Ogbodo described Mbah’s emergence during the party primaries as a reflection of public confidence in the governor’s leadership and development agenda.
In a statement, the council chairman said the governor’s performance across critical sectors had transformed the state and earned him widespread support among residents.

“A man who has touched virtually every sector through massive developments deserves not just a second tenure, but even a third,” Ogbodo said.
He praised the administration’s infrastructure and development initiatives, including the revamping of Nigergas, reconstruction of Hotel Presidential, construction of over 1,022 roads, establishment of 260 Smart Schools and 260 Type-2 Primary Health Centres across the state.
The chairman also cited the emergence of Enugu Air, the revitalisation of the International Conference Centre, farm estate projects across the 260 wards, and ongoing technology and innovation initiatives as evidence of what he described as transformational leadership.
He further noted that the near completion of the state’s International Hospital would position Enugu as a major medical destination in Africa.
According to Ogbodo, the governor has restored confidence in governance through what he described as courageous and visionary leadership.
“Your emergence is not just a political victory; it is a victory for progress, continuity, and the future of Enugu State. The people have seen your works and they are speaking loudly through their support,” he said.
