Political leaders in Enugu State, led on a courtesy visit by Governor Peter Mbah to a meeting with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the State House, Abuja, pledged unalloyed support for the President's re-election in 2027.

President Tinubu thanked the delegation for their support.

He noted that the testimonies of growth and infrastructural development from many states further validate the impact of his administration’s economic reforms.

The President commended southeast governors for effectively utilising resources released to sub-nationals, resulting in meaningful improvements in health, education, infrastructure, and citizens’ welfare.

He observed that the political realignment favouring the governing APC has been largely driven by the outcome of economic reforms, adding that Governor Mbah aligned with the APC, following sustained federal support for Enugu State.

President Tinubu said the previous challenge of funding long-term projects with short-term funds had been overcome with the release of additional funds to states to plan and implement developmental goals.

He expressed appreciation for governors from other political parties who have acknowledged the healthy and rewarding partnership with the federal government, with many now identifying with the governing party.

The President commended Governor Mbah for working tirelessly to tame insecurity in the state and to improve healthcare, education, and infrastructure.
