President Bola Tinubu on Saturday hailed Enugu Governor, Barr Peter Mbah’s development strides.
Tinubu, who is on a one-day official visit to the Coal City State, spoke during his stakeholders’ engagement at the Banquet Hall, Governor’s Lodge, Enugu Govt House.
He said the governor “is doing a fantastic job. I am glad that Enugu got a very good job tomorrow, today. I salute Peter Mbah for his commitment to development.
“You have built up a good team and I have reviewed a number of things with you in Abuja. You have encouraged me on the technological advancement of the state. The commitment you have from the private sector. I know your background.”
While waving politics aside, President Tinubu stressed that “the election is over and we have to move the nation forward. You have demonstrated that irrevocable commitment towards human development.
“I don’t care which party you come from. You are my friend. You are doing well and very focused. We must build this house called Nigeria to not just satisfy our immediate need, but our tomorrow too.
“That’s why the removal of the fuel subsidy was necessary. We can not spend the future of generation yet unborn in advance. Don’t bankrupt the nation before they’re born.”
“I am very proud of Nigeria. Mbah is proud of Nigeria. He is doing everything possible to provide security, attracting foreign investors, and other investors locally.
“There’s no better investment than the investment to secure lives. I saw those cars, the Distress Response Squad. It is the way to go.
“Please, continue to cooperate and collaborate with your son, brother and friend here, Mbah, who is really committed to push the development of Enugu State and be a good symbol of south eastern states,” he told the stakeholders.
DAILY POST reported that President Tinubu earlier in the day commissioned multiple projects completed by the Governor Mbah administration.
