Dr. Peter Mbah, the Governor of Enugu State, has reiterated his unwavering support for President Bola Tinubu's administration's decision to remove fuel subsidies. In a recent town hall meeting, Mbah asserted that reintroducing fuel subsidies would be a catastrophic mistake, leading to widespread panic among investors, a soaring poverty rate, and an unnecessary devaluation of the naira.

He argued that the removal of fuel subsidies has been beneficial for the less privileged, allowing the government to target aid more effectively. Mbah further claimed that Tinubu's policies have stabilized macro indicators, attracting both portfolio and direct investments. He emphasized the need to focus on encouraging private capital, strengthening the nation's growth trajectory.

The Governor also highlighted the accomplishments of his administration, such as the establishment of smart green schools, healthcare centers, and the improvement of transportation infrastructure. He urged citizens to maintain faith in the state's progress and defend the achievements of his first term, urging them to vote for his re-election to continue guiding Enugu towards greatness.
