The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Enugu State has officially commenced its campaign activities for the 2027 general elections, pledging to mobilise support for the re-election of Governor Peter Mbah and President Bola Tinubu.
The campaign flag-off, held on Wednesday at Nsukka Township Stadium, attracted party members, political office holders, traditional and community leaders, as well as supporters from the three senatorial districts of the state.
Addressing the gathering, Governor Mbah highlighted his administration’s activities in security, infrastructure, education, healthcare and economic development, urging residents to assess his government based on its performance.
He listed several projects and initiatives, including the dualisation of the Penoks–T-Junction–Ugwogo-Opi-Nsukka Road and the 40-kilometre Owo-Ubahu-Amankanu-Umualor-Ikem dual carriageway.
The governor also cited the establishment of Smart Green Schools, the recruitment of more than 6,000 teachers and the development of Type-2 Healthcare Centres across the state’s 260 wards as part of his administration’s interventions in education and healthcare.
On infrastructure and economic development, Mbah highlighted the reopening of the Presidential Hotel and International Conference Centre, the commencement of Enugu Air operations and the approval of ₦32 billion for the payment of outstanding gratuity arrears dating back to 2000.
He also commended President Tinubu for the establishment of the South East Development Commission and other federal interventions in the region.
The governor maintained that his administration should be judged by its record of delivery rather than campaign promises.
“We are not measured by our words; we are measured by our results. What we commit to, we deliver,” Mbah said.
The APC leadership said the campaign would continue across the various parts of Enugu State as the party seeks to strengthen its mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general elections.
