Enugu State Commissioner for Innovation, Science and Technology, Dr Prince Lawrence Ezeh, on Wednesday donated a Coaster bus, four Toyota Hiace buses, and ₦50 million to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in what party insiders described as one of its biggest logistical boosts in recent months.
Unveiling the vehicles in Enugu, Dr Ezeh said the gesture was aimed at “strengthening the APC’s operational capacity” ahead of coming political engagements. The donation, he noted, reflects the responsibility of party members to demonstrate loyalty through practical support.
He argued that the state government is fully preoccupied with governance obligations, explaining that Governor Peter Mbah is “fully occupied with economic-driven projects across every political ward.” For this reason, he said party members must play a more active role in internal party organisation rather than depend entirely on government structures.
According to him, the Coaster bus has been assigned to the APC women’s wing, one Hiace bus to the youth wing, while the remaining two will support administrative and mobilisation activities across the state.
Senior APC figures in Enugu welcomed the donation, describing it as a major boost to the party’s operational readiness. Party officials said the vehicles will immediately be deployed for field mobilisation, community engagement and ward-level coordination.
Observers drew parallels between the gesture and recent national initiatives, noting that President Bola Tinubu’s inauguration of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors also featured the distribution of vehicles for mobilisation purposes.
Dr Ezeh, who often positions himself at the intersection of technocracy and grassroots politics, said the support reflects his “unwavering commitment” to strengthening the APC’s future in the state. Party members responded with prolonged applause, calling the intervention “a morale boost” ahead of forthcoming political activities.
