488 shares were recorded after a rally in Enugu West Senatorial District over the weekend, where political leaders and stakeholders donated ₦100 million to Governor Peter Mbah for the purchase of his nomination form ahead of the 2027 gubernatorial election. The event, held in support of both Mbah and President Bola Tinubu, brought together key political figures from the zone, which comprises Awgu, Oji River, Ezeagu, Udi, and Aninri local government areas. Senator Osita Ngwu, representing Enugu West, justified the donation by citing Mbah's administration's delivery on infrastructure and social services, including the establishment of a Command and Control Centre for security, Smart Schools, and Type-2 Healthcare Centres in all political wards. He specifically highlighted improvements on the 9th Mile to Aguobu Owa road, saying what was once a difficult journey now takes only minutes.
Former Chief of Naval Staff Rear Admiral Allison Madueke (rtd) affirmed the people's decision, stating the testimonies given were accurate and urging Mbah to do more if re-elected. Former Senate President Ken Nnamani warned that electing any other candidate would disrupt the state's gubernatorial zoning arrangement, asserting that only Mbah's re-election guarantees Enugu West's turn in 2031. Mbah described the rally as "epic" and praised supporters for championing equity and strategic leadership. He credited President Tinubu with stabilising macroeconomic indicators, growing foreign reserves beyond $50 billion, and enabling state and local governments in Enugu to execute projects. Motions endorsing both leaders were formally moved and seconded by lawmakers including Hon Sunday Umeha, Hon Toby Okechukwu, Hon Uchenna Ugwu, and Hon Magnus Ede.
