The Igbo-Etiti Local Government Area Chairman of Enugu State, Dr. Eric Odo, has lauded Gov. Peter Mbah for his developmental strides in Enugu North senatorial zone.

This is as he assured the governor of Nsukka peoples’ continued support and loyalty to his government.

Odo stated this during an event tagged “Vote of Gratitude” organised by Coalition of Progress, Enugu North Senatorial Zone Branch at the Adada House in Nsukka.

The Igbo-Etiti council boss said Gov. Mbah had greatly favoured the zone despite not receiving enough votes from them in the last general election and promised that the mistake would be corrected in the 2027 election.

According to him, the Nsukka senatorial zone is the greatest beneficiary of the ongoing infrastructural projects in the state, which include Smart schools, Type-III Primary Health Centres, Farm Estates, the dualisation of Enugu – Ugwuogo – Opi road, construction of major bus terminals and so many road projects.

“For us in Nsukka zone, despite our shortcomings in the election the governor has decided on own to favour this zone better than every other zones.

“So, we have every reason to say thank you, we have every reason to say well done.

“We have every reason to say that wherever the governor is we are and we are not only looking at 2027, we are not only looking at 2031, wherever Dr. Mbah is, is where we are,” Odo declared.

On his part, the Coordinator, Coalition of Progress Enugu North Senatorial Zone Branch, Chinedu Onu, said the event was to appreciate the governor for carrying Nsukka zone along in his administration.

Onu noted that the coalition is made up of individuals and organisations, who are happy with Governor Mbah’s performance, which according to him is unprecedented in the history of Enugu State.

Also, the council chairman of Nsukka LGA Mr Jude Asogwa, said the governor had outperformed beyond the expectation of the people.

According to Asogwa, the six council chairmen in zone are strongly behind Mbah’s administration.

The event was attended by many dignitaries mostly from the senatorial zone.
