‘I witnessed what competent leadership can accomplish’: Tinubu says of Mbah @ 54
'Bola Tinubu Celebrates Peter Mbah's Birthday, Hails His Leadership in Enugu State'
President Bola Tinubu has sent a congratulatory message to Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State, marking his 54th birthday anniversary on 17 March. In a statement released by presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga, the president described Mbah as a "good and competent leader".
Tinubu's message is not just a routine birthday wish, but also a testament to the significant progress Enugu State has made under Mbah's leadership. During his visit to the state in 2025, Tinubu witnessed firsthand the positive impact of Mbah's vision and commitment to serving the people. The president praised Mbah's bold approach to governance, which has led to the implementation of transformational projects and programmes in the state.
As a former private sector player who achieved success in the oil and gas sector, Mbah's transition to governance has been marked by his inclusive approach and partnership with other Southeast governors. This collaboration has positioned the region for economic and political transformation.
Tinubu's message is a significant endorsement of Mbah's leadership, given the president's own experience and position. The president's wish for Mbah's good health and renewed strength as he continues his work in Enugu State is a testament to his appreciation for the governor's dedication to serving the people.
As Nigerians, we can learn from Mbah's example of effective leadership, particularly in the context of Nigeria's current challenges. His commitment to progressive governance and constitutional democracy is a beacon of hope for a brighter future. As we celebrate Mbah's birthday, we also acknowledge the impact of his leadership on Enugu State and the country at large.
