Ahead of the planned Awkunanaw Clan Mega Rally in honour of the Governor of Enugu State, His Excellency Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, the Strategic Committee of the mega rally has stated that the entire people of Awkunanaw will honour Gov. Peter Mbah due to his rare and unprecedented mastery of governance that has transformed the clan.
Speaking jointly to journalists in Enugu immediately after their closed-door meeting, the members of the Strategic Committee—Rt. Hon. USA Igwesi, Chief Sir Nwabueze Nnamani, Rt. Hon. Iloabuchi Aniagu, Dcn. Okey Ogbodo, and Rt. Hon. Caleb Ani—noted that Mbah's approach to governance is decentralized, touching every part of the state and turning Awkunanaw into a hub of modern infrastructure.
They noted what they called the "litany of projects" around Awkunanaw, wondering how it was possible that all were conceptualized and executed by the Governor within about three years in office.
"What we plan to do with this Mega Rally is simple. We want to shower gratitude on Barr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah for ensuring that Awkunanaw has not been left out in the litany of physical and human development projects going on in the state. The numbers speak for themselves.
"We wonder how it is that one man has this level of creativity and Midas touch. The impact of Gov. Mbah’s projects is such that it will outlive a lifetime.
"It is this depth of love for our people that we want to appreciate. As a clan, Awkunanaw has 18 Smart Green Schools worth over ₦18 billion; 18 Type II Primary Healthcare Centres worth over ₦1.8 billion; one of the five modern transport terminals built in the state; and will have 18 farm estates. By these, the Governor has effectively secured the future of our children and the health of our elders.
"Gov. Mbah has opened up several parts of Awkunanaw, bringing a breath of fresh air to places previously forgotten through the construction of solid roads and the designation of the entire stretch of Awkunanaw as an urban area through his Executive Order No. 1, 2025," they stated.
In a special appeal, the Chairman of the Media and Publicity Sub-Committee, Rt. Hon. USA Igwesi, called on all sons and daughters of Awkunanaw, stakeholders, residents of Enugu State, and the general public to attend the rally.
The Mega Rally will be held on Saturday, April 11, 2026, at the Awkunanaw Civic Center, Akpasha, Akegbe Ugwu, in Nkanu West Local Government Area, commencing at 10:00 am.
The rally is expected to draw a large crowd from the Awkunanaw clan and beyond, as they come together to celebrate the Governor's achievements and reaffirm their support for his administration ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Our correspondent reports that the Awkunanaw clan includes: Akegbe Ugwu, Obuoffia, Amechi, Amodu, Umueze, Akwuke, Ugwuaji, and Obeagu, spread across Nkanu West and Enugu South Local Government Areas.
