“To my colleagues in the administration, I am grateful for your resilience. We have worked a path that often felt like a marathon without rest. Many of the ideas you put forward were dismissed as unrealistic but you kept pushing the boundaries of what was possible because of your dedication, today we hear applause for Enugu across Nigeria and beyond.
“To the Peoples Democratic Party which provided us the platform on which we campaigned and won, I extend deep gratitude. The PDP supported us through a demanding campaign and joined us in celebrating the victory,” Mbah added.
