A socio-political support group, Tomorrow Is Here Movement, has pledged to secure the re-election of Enugu State Governor Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah in 2027 through sustained grassroots mobilisation, as political leaders and stakeholders praised the administration’s record of impactful governance.

The pledge was made at the Peter Mbah Arena, Abakpa Nike, during the inauguration of the movement’s ward coordinators in Enugu East Local Government Area. The event drew a large turnout of party faithful, community leaders and supporters from across the council.

Among dignitaries present were former Speaker of the Enugu State House of Assembly, Hon. Edward Ubosi, and former member of the House of Representatives for Enugu East/Isi Uzo, Hon. Cornelius Nnaji, both of whom commended Governor Mbah’s commitment to transforming the state.

Speaking at the event, Chairman of Enugu East Local Government Area, Engr. Beloved-dan Anike, described the council as the “capital of grassroots mobilisation in Nigeria,” assuring the governor of overwhelming support from the area. He said the administration’s nearly three years in office reflected a leadership style anchored on disruptive innovation and measurable outcomes.

Anike cited major infrastructure projects, including the dualisation of the Abakpa–Ugwogo–Opi Road and Penoks–Ugwogo–Opi Road, noting that the interventions would reposition Enugu East as a 24-hour economic hub within a year. He also highlighted the launch of Enugu Air, the digitalisation of land administration to block revenue leakages, the construction of over 260 smart green schools and primary healthcare centres, and the commencement of more than 1,000 roads within a single year.

He added that the council had complemented state efforts through free health insurance schemes, women empowerment programmes and sponsorship of youths for aviation training, with some beneficiaries already employed by Enugu Air.

On his part, Ubosi said supporters of the governor had a mandate to consistently communicate his achievements to the people, declaring that the administration’s unprecedented performance had convinced him to openly identify with the APC. Nnaji, meanwhile, said the massive turnout reflected Governor Mbah’s popularity and credibility, urging members of the movement to intensify grassroots sensitisation to return the governor to office in 2027. He also reaffirmed support for President Bola Tinubu and Governor Mbah in the next general election.

Deputy Speaker of the Enugu State House of Assembly and State Leader of the movement, Hon. Ezeani Ezenta, said the group had gained widespread acceptance across wards due to visible projects and empowerment programmes, adding that thousands of previously undecided residents had been mobilised in support of the governor.

Lawmakers representing Enugu East Urban and Enugu East Rural constituencies, Hon. Osita Okoh and Hon. Raymond Ugwu, alongside APC Caretaker Chairman of Enugu East LGA, Hon. Okey Igbokwe, commended the governor for prioritising the council with landmark projects already transforming livelihoods.

Former State Woman Leader, Hon. Peace Patrice, said the projects had renewed hope among women across rural and urban communities, strengthening their resolve to support the administration beyond 2027.

Inaugurating the coordinators, Leader of the Tomorrow Is Here Movement, Hon. Tony Okonkwo, attributed the governor’s development drive to a deep commitment to the people, citing urban renewal, aviation development, road infrastructure, smart transport initiatives, and investments in education and healthcare as hallmarks of inclusive governance.

Responding on behalf of the ward coordinators, Hon. Okoro Tim reaffirmed their commitment to promoting the administration’s programmes at the grassroots, assuring that Enugu East would deliver strong electoral support for Governor Mbah in 2027.
