Enugu State Governor Mbah

Enugu State Governor Mbah Admits To Having Sleepless Night In Governing Enugu State—-Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State says the weight of the decision he has to make in governing the people of Enugu frequently gives him sleepless nights.

The governor said he is constantly thinking about how his decision affects the people.

Governor Mbah said this while speaking on Thursday at the second anniversary of his administration.

He said that, as the leader of the state, he has a duty to develop and transform Enugu. Still, while making tough governance decisions, he often pauses to consider the effect of his decisions on the people.

He said, “Change seeks no permission; it moves through persistence. We choose action over comfort. Sometimes, progress over popularity. Real change is not fanciful. It is hard, it resists, and sometimes it tests our faith.

“There have been nights I barely slept because of the weight of the decision we must make. There are days I pause not from indecision but from compassion.

“I’m contstantly thinking, how will this decision affect the people? Havew we though through the consequences? It is part of the burden of leadership. Development is necessary, but it does not come with easy choices. We were not promised ease, only the chance to serve, and so we pressed on, knowing that the first step towards transformation was into the unknown with only the light of our vision as our guide. We chose to act swiftly because we have no luxury of time.”

Earlier, Arthur Eze, the Chief Executive Officer of Atlas Oranto Petroleum, said Governor Mbah deserves a second term and that nobody will stop him from re-election.

He added that President Bola Tinubu has endorsed the governor for a second term because of his honesty.

NASS Leadership Endorses Tinubu

2027: NASS Leadership Endorses Tinubu—-The leadership of the National Assembly (NASS) on Thursday at the National Summit of the All Progressives Congress (APC) party, held in Abuja, endorsed President Bola Tinubu as their sole candidate for the 2027 presidential election.

The endorsement was moved by Sen. Godswill Akpabio, the President of the Senate, and seconded by Hon. Tajudeen Abass, the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

This followed an earlier endorsement of Tinubu as the sole candidate of the APC in the 2027 by Gov. Hope Uzodinma of Imo and Chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum.

Akpabio moved that Tinubu should be adopted as the sole candidate of the APC for the Presidency in 2027.

“Nigerians are saying that because you have done a difficult job well, that it is time to reward you by sending you back to the Presidency for a second term in office,” he said.

Akpabio said the endorsement was based on the political sagacity of Tinubu, whom he said had been able to set Nigeria on the path of growth as confirmed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

He said Nigerians and people at the grassroots were very excited, and that members of the National Assembly were also excited and had never had it so good.

Abass said he stood on behalf of 109 Senators and 360 members of the House of Representatives, and all the 36 Speakers and their members, to second the motion raised by the president of the senate.
