The Special Adviser to the Governor of Enugu State on Legislative Matters, Rt. Hon. Paul Nnajiofor (Ononenyi), has congratulated the Executive Governor of Enugu State, His Excellency, Barr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, on his historic feat of consecutively retaining the prestigious SUN Man of the Year Award for three years, 2023, 2024, and 2025, describing the achievement as a rare demonstration of consistent excellence in governance.
Rt. Hon. Nnajiofor described the triple recognition as a powerful affirmation of Governor Mbah’s trailblazing efforts in redefining governance, noting that the award reflects growing national and global acknowledgement of his innovative approach, bold reforms, and results-driven leadership that have fundamentally altered political narratives in Enugu State and beyond.
The former lawmaker, who is now a key member of Governor Mbah’s executive team, made these remarks while addressing newsmen in Enugu on Sunday, February 1, 2026, where he stated that the Governor’s consecutive emergence as SUN Man of the Year underscores a leadership style anchored on vision, accountability, audacity, and measurable impact, rather than empty rhetoric.
According to Nnajiofor, Governor Mbah’s administration has continued to distinguish itself through ambitious yet achievable policies, strategic investments, and an uncompromising commitment to institutional reforms that have repositioned Enugu State as a model of modern governance in Nigeria.
He commended the management of The Sun Newspaper for what he described as its longstanding tradition of insisting on evidence-based parameters in the selection of award recipients, stressing that Governor Mbah has repeatedly proven his mettle by remaining a shining, traceable, and verifiable example of bold, ambitious, and audacious leadership in public service.
Rt. Hon. Nnajiofor further called on Ndi Enugu to closely align with Governor Mbah’s leadership trajectory, urging them to embrace and sustain a governance template rooted in clear vision, transparency, accountability, and result-oriented execution, which he said remains the surest pathway to lasting development.
He also appealed to Ndi Enugu both at home and in the diaspora to continue to support, partner, and invest in the Governor’s transformative agenda, emphasizing that Governor Mbah is determined to leave Enugu State far more transformed than he met it, positioning the state as a prime destination for investment, tourism, quality education, and improved living standards.
The Special Adviser concluded by congratulating Governor Mbah once again on the remarkable three-year streak, expressing confidence that the recognition would further energise the Governor to deepen reforms and deliver even greater dividends of democracy to the people of Enugu State.
According to him, the SUN Man of the Year Awards “clearly affirm that consistent performance, innovation, courage, and integrity in leadership will always attract recognition, and Enugu State remains firmly on the right path under the leadership of Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah.”
