The gatherings, held across Ihe, Awgu Ward 1, Awgu Ward 2, and Agbogugu, were not merely political meetings but celebrations of progress, unity, and shared vision for the future of Enugu State.
As the sun rose over Awgu, the air was filled with anticipation. Hon.

With a focus on community engagement, Hon. Okolo’s presence underscored his commitment to grassroots politics and the importance of local governance.
During the meetings, Hon. Okolo passionately highlighted the remarkable achievements of Governor Mbah, which have transformed Enugu State into a beacon of progress. He spoke of the innovative Smart Green Schools initiative, which has established modern educational facilities across all 260 political wards, ensuring that the youth are equipped for a brighter future. The agricultural sector has also seen a renaissance, with the introduction of expansive Farm Estates that not only bolster food security but also create jobs and stimulate the local economy.
Hon. Okolo emphasized the impressive growth in Enugu’s GDP, attributing it to the Governor’s visionary leadership and strategic projects. He noted initiatives such as the Enugu Urban Renewal Project, which enhances infrastructure and beautifies urban spaces, and the Enugu Health Initiative, aimed at improving healthcare access for all citizens. These projects, he stated, are just the beginning of a transformative journey for the state.
As he spoke, the room resonated with applause and shouts of encouragement, reflecting the unwavering support for both Hon. Okolo and Governor Mbah. He expressed gratitude to the party faithful for their relentless dedication, assuring them that their support would not go unnoticed. “Together, we will continue to build a better Awgu and a more prosperous Enugu State,” he declared, his voice filled with conviction.
Hon. Okolo’s heartfelt message was not just about political allegiance; it was a call to action for unity and collaboration. He urged the community to maintain their support for Governor Mbah, emphasizing the importance of their votes in the upcoming 2027 general elections. “We owe it to ourselves and our future generations to ensure that the good work continues,” he said, reinforcing the notion that progress is a collective responsibility.
The gatherings were attended by notable figures, including Hon. Tony Nwankwo, the member representing Awgu South in the Enugu State House of Assembly, and Rt. Hon. Nelson Uduji, the Secretary General of Awgu Local Government. Their presence further solidified the message of unity and shared purpose among the party members.
As the meetings concluded, the atmosphere was charged with optimism and determination. The people of Awgu left with a renewed sense of hope, inspired by the vision of a brighter future for their communities. Hon. Uche Okolo’s commitment to grassroots engagement and his unwavering support for Governor Mbah exemplify the essence of leadership rooted in service and community.
In the words of Hon. Okolo, “Tomorrow is here,” and with it comes the promise of continued development and prosperity for Awgu and beyond.
