Leaders and stakeholders in Enugu West Senatorial Zone have concluded plans to hold an endorsement rally for Governor Peter Mbah ahead of the 2027 governorship election.
Southeastposts gathered that the rally is scheduled for Saturday, April 18, 2026, at the Awgu Local Government Field.
Addressing a press conference in Enugu on Tuesday, the Commissioner for Chieftaincy Matters and Rural Development, Charles Egumgbe, and Senator Ben-Collins Ndu — co-chairmen of the organising committee — said the event would draw participants from across political parties and communities in the zone.
Egumgbe said the decision to endorse the governor reflects a consensus among the people of Enugu West, irrespective of party affiliation.
He described the administration as deliberate and forward-thinking, noting that its impact is being felt across the state. “If you look at infrastructure, education, health, transportation and the economy, you will see that this government has moved into all these areas. You can see activities of governance in every community, in every part of the state,” he said.
He also pointed to improvements in the aviation sector, saying they would ease travel for residents.
Egumgbe maintained that the governor has demonstrated enough capacity to earn another term. He further reaffirmed Enugu West’s position on the state’s zoning arrangement.
Also speaking, Senator Ben-Collins Ndu reaffirmed the zone’s full support for the governor while restating its expectation under the zoning deal. “We are going to give him one hundred percent support. After his tenure, it will come to Enugu West. That is why we are fully behind him,” he said.
