The Mmiri Oma Campaign Council for the election of Engr. Mike Ogbuekwe as Chairman of Nkanu East Local Government Area has begun an intensified grassroots mobilisation drive across the 14 wards of Nkanu East ahead of the September 26, 2026 Local Government Council election and the 2027 general elections.

The campaign council held a strategic meeting with the 14 APC ward chairmen on Tuesday, August 25, as part of efforts to strengthen the party’s grassroots structure and ensure that its programmes and campaign messages reach communities across the local government.

Addressing the ward chairmen, the Director-General of the Campaign Council, Hon. Prince Nwatu, described them as the “drivers” of the APC at the grassroots and urged them to take ownership of the party’s mobilisation efforts in their respective wards.

Nwatu also highlighted the rural road projects of Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah’s administration, saying improved connectivity was bringing government closer to rural communities and making it easier for farmers to move their produce from farms to markets.

He specifically cited the improved road connection between Ihuokpara and Ugbawka, saying the rehabilitation and opening of rural roads were changing travel patterns and strengthening links among communities across Nkanu East.

According to him, the projects demonstrate the administration’s effort to take governance and development to the grassroots.

Speaking on behalf of the ward chairmen, their leader, Comr. Okeke A. Victor, expressed appreciation to the APC chairmanship candidate, the campaign council and Nwatu.

He welcomed Nwatu’s appointment as Director-General of the campaign council, expressing confidence in his leadership and ability to deliver victory for the party.

Okeke urged the ward chairmen to work towards a 100 per cent APC victory, calling on them to take the party’s programmes, achievements and campaign message directly to villages and communities within their wards.

The APC chairmanship candidate, Engr. Mike Ogbuekwe, commended the ward chairmen for their commitment, describing them as “the lions of their respective wards.”

Ogbuekwe charged them to activate and mobilise youths across the 14 wards, noting that young people were critical to grassroots mobilisation, community engagement and electoral success.

He also assured the ward chairmen that he understood the major needs of communities across Nkanu East, including roads, electricity, security and other essential infrastructure.

He pledged to prioritise those concerns under his leadership, if elected.

The meeting further strengthened the campaign council’s grassroots mobilisation strategy as the September 26 council election approaches, with the party leadership urging members across the 14 wards to remain united and focused.

The council also reaffirmed its determination to build a strong grassroots structure capable of driving its campaign ahead of both the 2026 local government election and the 2027 general elections.

…Campaign Organisation promises aggressive grassroots mobilisation, ward tours begin Sept 7

The Chairman of Nkanu East Local Government Council and State Chairman of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria, ALGON, Hon. Sydney Okechukwu Edeh, has inaugurated the All Progressives Congress, APC, Campaign Council for the party’s candidate in the September 26 local government election in Enugu State, Engr. Mike Chikaosolu Ogbuekwe.

Edeh inaugurated the campaign organisation at the ALGON office, charging members to take the campaign seriously, ennsuring that the party’s message gets to the grassroots across Nkanu East.

He urged them to approach the assignment with dedication and seriousness, stressing that the experience and structures developed during the council election would be critical to subsequent political engagements.

Edeh also observed that the achievements of Enugu State Governor, Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, across the state would make the campaign easier, noting that the administration’s projects and programmes had impacted communities across the state.

“Dr. Peter Mbah is working and we are all seeing the impact all around us, and down to every community. Every community has something new to show in the forms of Smart Green Schools, Type 2 Primary Healthcare Centres, roads, and more. So, ours is just to robustly propagate them,” he stated.

He charged the campaign council to effectively market both the APC and its candidate to the people at the grassroots, describing Ogbuekwe, popularly known as Mmirioma I of Nkerefi, as a “sellable personality” with proven credentials and a track record.

The ALGON chairman expressed confidence in the capacity of the members of the campaign organisation, urging them to work as a united team and demonstrate commitment to the task before them.

Responding on behalf of the campaign organisation, the Director-General, Prince Chukwuemeka Nwatu, thanked Edeh, Ogbuekwe and the party leadership for the confidence reposed in the members.

Nwatu assured that his team would not take anything for granted, but would work tirelessly to mobilise support for the candidate and the APC.

He noted that the election was particularly important as it would serve as a prelude to the campaigns for the presidential, governorship and other elections.

The Campaign DG announced that the team would commence a tour of the 14 wards of the LGA on September 7, saying the local government -wide tour would provide an opportunity for the candidate and his team to engage directly with residents, listen to their concerns and present the campaign’s message to voters across the local government.

Meanwhile, speaking at the inauguration, the APC flag bearer, Engr. Mike Chikaosolu Ogbuekwe, expressed gratitude to Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, party leaders and members for giving him the opportunity to aspire to serve, describing it as a call to greater responsibility and service to the people.

Ogbuekwe commended the governor for what he described as the “great works” being executed across Enugu State, saying the transformation being witnessed in different parts of the state had demonstrated the administration’s commitment to development.

He said if elected chairman of Nkanu East, he would draw inspiration from the governor’s leadership style and footsteps in piloting the affairs of the local government.

“I am deeply grateful to His Excellency, Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, for giving me this opportunity to serve. I also commend him for the great works he is doing across Enugu State. I will take his footsteps in piloting the affairs of Nkanu East and ensure that the people feel the impact of the government,” Ogbuekwe said.

He also said his emergence as the APC candidate was not merely a personal achievement but a call to service, promising to work with stakeholders and residents of Nkanu East to advance the interests of the people.

The candidate urged members of the campaign council to regard their appointments as responsibilities rather than titles, stressing that their primary duty was to connect with the people and communicate the party’s message effectively.

“This campaign is not about one individual; it is about the people of Nkanu East and the future we can build together,” he said.

Ogbuekwe also called on party supporters to remain united, peaceful and focused throughout the campaign, assuring that his campaign would be based on engagement with the people.

“We will go to the wards, communities and villages, listen to our people and make our case before them. We will not take anyone for granted, and we will not leave any part of Nkanu East untouched,” he added.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) chairmanship candidate for Nkanu East Local Government Area, Hon. Engr. Michael Chikosolu Ogbuekwe, has congratulated Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah on his appointment as the party’s South-East Zonal Campaign Coordinator for the 2027 presidential election.

In a congratulatory message to the governor, Ogbuekwe described the appointment as a recognition of Mbah’s leadership, administrative capacity and political influence, particularly in the South-East.

He said the role, which places Mbah at the forefront of the mobilisation of the five South-Eastern states for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid, underscored the importance attached to the governor’s leadership by the APC.

According to Ogbuekwe, Mbah’s developmental record and political alignment have positioned Enugu State as an important component of the party’s strategy in the South-East.

He said Mbah’s experience and political structure would be instrumental in communicating the achievements of the Tinubu administration and mobilising grassroots support for the APC ahead of the 2027 elections.

Ogbuekwe also described the appointment as a signal of the growing political significance of the South-East, expressing confidence that Mbah would deploy his leadership experience to galvanise support for the party across the region.

“This appointment is a clear signal that the South-East is central to the political calculations of the future, and there is no doubt that your coordination will galvanise the necessary grassroots support to ensure a resounding victory for the APC,” he said.

He commended the governor’s commitment to public service and ability to manage complex responsibilities, while wishing him wisdom, strength and grace in his new assignment.

Ogbuekwe, who signed the message as APC chairmanship candidate for Nkanu East Local Government, assured Mbah of his support as he takes on the South-East campaign responsibility.

Enugu State Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah has been appointed Zonal Campaign Coordinator for the South-East in the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council for the 2027 general elections.

The full membership list of the council was released on Saturday, August 22, 2026, by the Presidency through Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy. The announcement expands on earlier details of the council’s principal officers.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will chair the council. Vice President Kashim Shettima and APC National Chairman Professor Nentawe Yilwatda serve as Vice Chairmen I and II respectively. Former Zamfara State Governor Senator Abdulaziz Yari is Director-General, while Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma is Secretary. Other key positions include Senator Surajudeen Ajibola Basiru as Deputy Secretary and Hadiza Bala Usman as Assistant Secretary.

Mbah’s appointment places him in charge of coordinating the party’s presidential campaign efforts across the five South-East states. Other zonal campaign coordinators named include Senator Bassey Otu (South-South), Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu (South-West), Governor Umar Bago (North-Central), Senator Modu Sheriff (North-East), and Governor Uba Sani (North-West).

The council, which includes members across various directorates, is tasked with mobilising support and showcasing the administration’s record ahead of the January 2027 presidential election. The release of the list marks a significant step in the APC’s organisational preparations for the polls.

Political analyst Chukwuma Okenwa has said that Nigerians will judge President Bola Tinubu’s administration ahead of the 2027 general election based on whether their lives have improved, rather than the government’s claims about economic reforms.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, former Vice-President and 2027 African Democratic Congress presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, and 2027 Nigeria Democratic Congress presidential candidate Peter Obi have congratulated Ademola Adeleke on his re-election as governor of Osun State, with the opposition figures describing the outcome as a demonstration of the power of the electorate ahead of the 2027 general election.

Tinubu, in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, on Sunday, said Adeleke’s victory was an assurance that democracy would continue to flourish in Nigeria.

The president said he had called Adeleke to congratulate him and urged him to unite the people of Osun State and mobilise them for growth, stability and socio-economic progress irrespective of how they voted.

“I called Governor Ademola Adeleke earlier today to congratulate him on his election victory in Osun State. His victory once again confirmed the confidence the people of Osun State have in him.

“I wish him great success as he prepares to lead the state for the next four years. Now that he has won, Governor Adeleke must unite the people of Osun State and rally them for growth, stability, and social and economic progress, regardless of the political choices they made at the election.

“I salute the courage and discipline displayed by other contestants in the election. Their participation deepened and enriched our country’s democratic culture. The outcome of the election reflects the will of the people and is a fitting assurance that democracy will continue to flourish in our land.”

Tinubu also commended the Independent National Electoral Commission and security agencies for conducting what he described as a peaceful and transparent election that produced a clear winner.

However, Atiku, the African Democratic Congress presidential candidate, described the Osun election as a “forerunner” of the 2027 general elections, saying the outcome reflected the democratic wishes of the people.

In a statement by his media office, Atiku commended Osun voters for turning out in large numbers and resisting what he described as attempts to undermine the democratic process.

“The outcome of last Saturday’s gubernatorial election in Osun State is an expression of the wishes of the people, which has earned Governor Adeleke his re-election.

“The lesson from the election is that the voters in Osun State have set a good example of how we must come out in large numbers in the general elections next year.

“Another important lesson from the Osun election is that it is a clear manifestation of how the collective resolve of the electorate to stand firm to protect their ballot is the best antidote to rigging, vote buying and other electoral malpractice and irregularities,” Atiku said.

The former vice-president further claimed that the outcome demonstrated the declining popularity of the All Progressives Congress (APC), accusing the Tinubu administration of failed policies.

“Nigerians have roundly rejected the APC. The election in Osun State is just a telling indication that the APC will be defeated in the general election in January 2027. Indeed, it is a forerunner of the 2027 General Elections,” he said.

Atiku urged Adeleke to use his renewed mandate to deepen good governance and improve the economic and social wellbeing of Osun residents.

Similarly, Obi congratulated Adeleke and the people of Osun State, saying the election reaffirmed that the power to choose leaders belongs to the people.

In a statement titled “Osun: When the People Stand, Democracy Wins”, Obi particularly commended youths in the state for what he described as their vigilance in protecting their democratic mandate.

“The lesson from Osun is clear: democracy is strongest when citizens are alert, conscious of their civic responsibility, and determined to ensure that their votes count. Every genuine vote must be respected, and every lawful mandate must be protected,” he said.

Obi urged Nigerians to remain informed and actively participate in the 2027 elections, stressing that citizens could use their votes to demand change in response to prevailing challenges, including hardship, insecurity and deprivation.

He also called on political actors to prioritise the interests of Nigerians, embrace peace and respect the rule of law.

“Elections should never be battles of violence, but contests of ideas, competence, character, and service,” Obi said.

Adeleke’s re-election has consequently drawn contrasting political interpretations, with the president describing it as an affirmation of democratic progress, while Atiku and Obi emphasised voter vigilance and participation as lessons for the 2027 general elections.

The Osun State governor Ademola Adeleke has won a fresh four-year term to lead the South-West state after defeating his closest rival, Bola Oyebamiji of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Former Vice President and  African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar has filed a suit in the High Court in Abuja challenging President Bola Tinubu’s qualification to contest the 2027 presidential election over allegations of certificate falsification.
