The Leader of the Ifediche Political Family for 2027, Ezenwa A A Onyirimba, has outlined reasons behind the growing support for Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, as residents of Greater Awgu Federal Constituency prepare for a planned 10,000-man solidarity walk.
In a statement issued on April 8, 2026, Onyirimba said the backing for governor Mbah was earned through visible governance and measurable progress, rather than political rhetoric.
“At defining moments in the life of a people, support for leadership is not manufactured—it is earned. In Enugu State today, that moment is unfolding, and the people of Greater Awgu Federal Constituency have made their position unmistakably clear: we stand firmly behind Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah,” he said.
He explained that the planned solidarity walk goes beyond a show of numbers, describing it as a reflection of conviction and collective belief in the administration’s direction.
“This support is not rooted in rhetoric or partisan sentiment. It is grounded in observable governance, tangible progress, and a shared vision for a better future. It also explains the growing momentum behind the planned 10,000-man solidarity walk—an event that symbolizes more than numbers; it reflects conviction,” Onyirimba added.
Highlighting ongoing developments across the state, he noted that infrastructure renewal, improved transportation systems, and economic connectivity are already impacting communities within Awgu, Aninri, and Oji-River.
“Governance, in this era, is being measured not by promises made, but by outcomes delivered. Across Enugu State, infrastructure renewal is no longer an abstract agenda. Roads are being constructed and rehabilitated, transport systems modernized, and the framework for a more connected economy steadily taking shape,” he stated.
Onyirimba also pointed to improvements in security, stressing that enhanced safety measures have begun restoring public confidence and attracting investment.
“Development cannot thrive where fear persists. By investing in technology-driven security systems and strengthening rapid-response mechanisms, the administration has improved the overall safety environment,” he said.
He described the government’s focus on education and human capital development as a critical step toward securing the future of young people in the constituency.
“The emphasis on education—particularly through Smart Schools and digital learning initiatives—signals a clear understanding of where the future lies. For the young people of Greater Awgu, this is transformative,” he noted.
The political leader further highlighted agricultural reforms, including mechanised farming and farm estate development, as key drivers of economic growth for the largely agrarian communities.
“Agriculture… is receiving overdue attention. The push toward mechanized farming, structured farm estates, and agribusiness development reflects a strategic shift—from subsistence to sustainability, from survival to prosperity,” he said.
Describing the solidarity walk as both symbolic and strategic, Onyirimba said it represents a civic endorsement of the governor’s performance and a call for continuity.
“It is not merely a political gathering or a show of strength. It is, in essence, a civic expression—an acknowledgment of performance and a call for continuity,” he stated.
He added that the mobilisation reflects a deeper sense of inclusion and trust in governance.
“When people mobilize voluntarily in such numbers, it speaks to something deeper: a sense of inclusion, a recognition of effort, and a belief that governance can indeed work,” he said.
Reaffirming the constituency’s position, Onyirimba stressed that the support for the governor is anchored on trust and shared aspirations for development.
“In the end, leadership is validated not by titles, but by trust. In Greater Awgu today, that trust is visible, organized, and resolute,” he said.
As preparations for the solidarity walk intensify, he noted that participants are driven by belief in the administration’s direction.
“As the people prepare to take to the streets in solidarity, they do so not out of obligation, but out of belief—belief that the path being charted is the right one, and that the journey toward a more prosperous Enugu State is well underway,” Onyirimba concluded.
