The Ntu-egbenese Clan, spanning several local government areas across Enugu West and Enugu East Senatorial Zones, has commended Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah for what it described as “purposeful, people-oriented governance” as he marks two years in office.
In a goodwill message signed by His Royal Majesty Igwe Aloysius Chidozie Ogbonna Jnr, Ubojene II of Ogugu Ntu-egbenese Ancient Kingdom and Akajiofo of the Ntu-egbenese Clan, and made available to newsmen on Thursday, the clan declared its unwavering support for Governor Mbah, asserting that there would be “no vacancy in Lion Building” come 2027.
The royal father hailed the governor for bringing real development to previously neglected communities, stating that “Governor Mbah has brought hope and real development to communities that were once forgotten.”
Igwe Ogbonna praised the governor for resolving a 25-year-old traditional leadership crisis in Ogugu that had kept the community divided, noting that the move restored peace and unity to the kingdom. He added that a modern Type 2 Primary Health Care Centre is currently under construction in the area — a development he said would significantly improve grassroots healthcare delivery.
The monarch further highlighted the employment of over 20 sons and daughters of Ogugu Ntu-egbenese Ancient Kingdom into various government agencies, as well as the appointment of one of them as a commissioner in the Enugu State Independent Electoral Commission (ENSIEC).
“Governor Mbah is doing the work many before him only promised,” the royal father stated.
He also pointed to additional government interventions such as the construction of new roads, provision of clean water, and other life-enhancing projects that have directly benefited communities within the Ntu-egbenese Clan.
Speaking further, Igwe Ogbonna referenced the ongoing estate development in Agbogugu and improved access to markets, schools, and farmlands across the 32 communities in the clan. These efforts, he said, have “strengthened the people’s confidence in government and in their future.”
Reaffirming the clan’s loyalty, the traditional ruler declared:
“The entire Ntu-egbenese Clan stands firmly with Governor Mbah and will continue to give him all the support he needs.”

PRESS RELEASE
Ntu-egbenese Clan and Ogugu Ancient Kingdom Celebrate Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah’s Two Years of Purposeful Leadership
The people of Ogugu Ntu-egbenese Ancient Kingdom and the wider Ntu-egbenese Clan, which cuts across various local government areas in both Enugu West and Enugu East Senatorial Zones, heartily celebrate His Excellency, Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, as he marks two years of focused, people-oriented governance in Enugu State.
Governor Mbah’s intervention in Ogugu ended a traditional leadership problem that lingered for over 25 years. This bold move brought lasting peace, unity, and stability to our kingdom and restored the dignity of our traditional institution.
Today, our people are witnessing a new era of progress. The construction of a standard Type 2 Primary Health Care Centre in Ogugu by the Mbah-led administration is a clear example of what it means to touch lives at the grassroots. For the first time in many years, our sick and elderly ones will no longer travel far to receive basic health care.
Our joy also stems from the over 20 sons and daughters of Ogugu Ntu-egbenese who have been offered gainful employment in various government offices. One of our own now serves as an ENSIEC Commissioner — a clear signal that our people are being carried along in the affairs of the state.
Furthermore, Governor Mbah has opened up our communities with roads and other key infrastructure. The Mburubu–Nkereffi–Nara–Nome roads and the ongoing estate development in Agbogugu are just a few of the many impactful projects across the 32 communities of the Ntu-egbenese Clan.
These achievements are not hidden. Our farmers can now move their goods with ease. Our children go to school on better roads. Clean water and other basic services are getting to places that were forgotten for decades. Enugu is wearing a new look under Governor Mbah’s watch.
On behalf of the Ntu-egbenese Clan, we declare that we are proud of Governor Mbah. His style of leadership has brought back the people’s confidence in government. Come 2027, there is no vacancy in Lion Building. Governor Mbah will have only himself to contest with.
Signed:
His Royal Majesty, Igwe Aloysius Chidozie Ogbonna Jnr
