Wabara said that Mbah’s “visionary leadership, lofty dreams and approach to governance”, had launched Enugu into “a leading economy in the South East, and a model of excellence in the country”.

The PDP BoT Chairman noted that Gov. Mbah’s “midterm landmark achievements which are openly acknowledged even by his opponents, are clear indication that Nigeria’s hope lies with the PDP”.

Senator Wabara who commended the Enugu State Governor for his uncommon developmental strides, urged him to sustain the tempo in the remaining half of his administration.
