2027: APC Flags-off Enugu Campaign in Nsukka, Vows to Deliver Mbah, Tinubu, other Candidates

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Enugu State officially launched its campaign for the 2027 general elections on Wednesday at Nsukka Township Stadium. Party leaders, stakeholders, and supporters from across the three senatorial districts gathered to pledge their support for re-electing Governor Peter Mbah and President Bola Tinubu.

Governor Mbah highlighted his administration's achievements in security, infrastructure, education, healthcare, economic development, and the revival of abandoned projects. He urged the people to evaluate his government's performance based on its accomplishments and ongoing projects, noting that the opposition had not presented any manifesto.

Addressing the need for improved infrastructure, Mbah mentioned the dualisation of the Penoks–T-Junction – Ugwogo-Opi-Nsukka road, which has significantly reduced travel time and improved safety. He also highlighted the state's Smart Green Schools initiative, which aims to transform the quality of learning and prepare children for a productive future.

In education, the governor said his administration had recruited more than 6,000 additional teachers and invested in healthcare by constructing Type-2 Primary Healthcare Centres across the state's 260 electoral wards. On economic development, he listed the reopening of several key facilities and investments in various sectors as evidence of the state's efforts to stimulate economic activities and create employment opportunities.

The governor acknowledged that more work remained to be done, particularly in road infrastructure, reaffirming his administration's commitment to its 10,000-kilometre road construction target. He also acknowledged the role of President Tinubu's economic reforms in creating additional fiscal opportunities for state governments, which his administration has leveraged to invest in infrastructure, social services, and employment generation.
