Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Enugu State chapter, on Saturday, endorsed Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State for a second term in office, citing his visionary, pragmatic, and transformative leadership, urging stakeholders and the people to rally round him.

Rising from a well-attended expanded stakeholders meeting held at Michael Okpara Square, Enugu, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation also acknowledged President Bola Tinubu’s strategic projects, interventions, and appointments in the South-East in general and Enugu State in particular.

The meeting during which Ohanaeze handed the Ofo (symbol of authority and justice) to Mbah brought together leaders of thought, traditional rulers, market leaders, professionals, youth and women groups, as well as Presidents-General of town unions.

They include the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Mrs Bianca Ojukwu, and the President-General of the body, Joahn Azuta-Mbata, represented by the President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Rivers State, Livingstone Wechie, as both hailed Mbah’s transformative leadership and endorsed his re-election.

Also, the Enugu North Senatorial District will host a mega endorsement rally on May 2, 2026, in honour of Mbah and Tinubu, in appreciation of their impactful leadership and contributions to the development of the zone.

The rally, which is expected to draw stakeholders from across the senatorial district and beyond, will take place at the Nsukka Township Stadium at 10:00 a.m.

The organisers, in a statement issued by the Chairman of the Central Planning Committee, Ikeje Asogwa, said the event would also serve as a platform for the people of Enugu North Senatorial District, also known as Nsukka Zone, to reaffirm their resolve to support the re-election of both leaders in 2027.
