…Lauds Mbah Over Development
…Congratulates Winners of Chairmanship, Councillorship Election
The Enugu State Coordinator of Renewed Hope Ambassadors, Rt. Hon. USA Igwesi, has commended the peaceful conduct of the Enugu State local government elections, describing the exercise as free and fair.
Igwesi, who spoke to newsmen after casting his vote at his polling unit on Saturday, September 26, 2026, also congratulated the winners of the chairmanship and councillorship elections across the state.
He said the large turnout of voters and peaceful atmosphere witnessed during the exercise demonstrated the people’s interest in choosing their representatives at the grassroots.
“The concluded election was free and fair. People came out in their numbers to vote. There were two polling booths; one was for Local Government Chairman and the other one was for Councillor.
“I am thanking the Governor of Enugu State for providing an enabling environment for this concluded election. Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah did well by providing this environment. All the political parties did their best to contest and show interest.
“I thank God that there was no problem and violence of any sort. Everybody came out peacefully, happily and joyfully to vote so I really thank God for that.”
The former federal lawmaker also praised Governor Mbah for what he described as the widespread development projects being executed across the state, saying the administration’s projects had given the All Progressives Congress (APC) confidence ahead of future elections.
He specifically mentioned the International Conference Centre (ICC), Presidential Hotel, 300-bed hospital, Smart Schools across the 260 political wards, Type C health centres, road projects and other developments in Obuoffia.
“I am highly optimistic and my heart is strong because the Governor of the State gave us bragging rights. The work he is doing in Enugu State is much; including ICC, Presidential Hotel, 300-bedded hospital, Smart Schools scattered across the 260 political wards, Type 2 Health Center across the different political wards, including roads and the work he has done in Obuoffia.
“And the work he is doing is spread across every other Local Government and every other community in Enugu State. God is the only one that has the attribute of ubiquity; that is being everywhere at the same time, but Peter Mbah has shown that he possesses that attribute of ubiquity. God gave him that attribute and that honour. He’s everywhere. In all the construction sites that Enugu State has, work is going on there.”
Igwesi expressed confidence that the APC would retain its electoral strength in future elections, including the 2027 general elections, attributing the party’s prospects to the performance of the Mbah administration.
“So, what I’m saying in essence is that APC will always win elections. This one that is ENSIEC, APC will win it. APC will every other level of elections because we have something to hold on to and our people understand that they will follow the person that is working so Peter Mbah and APC will always win any day, any time.”
He urged the electorate to continue to support leaders whose performance, according to him, had translated into visible development across their communities.
