Earl Osaro Onaiwu, respected political strategist and the founding Director-General of the PDP Governors’ Forum, has lauded the Governor of Enugu State Dr. Peter Mbah. In a statement released on Thursday, Onaiwu praised the Governor for his bold reforms and the steady progress being made across critical sectors of the state from roads and schools to healthcare and job creation.

Among recent milestones that caught national attention is the unveiling of Enugu State’s newly acquired airline (Enugu Air), a move Onaiwu described as “forward-thinking,” aimed at boosting economic activity, enhancing state logistics, and reinforcing investor confidence in the region.

“I truly commend the Governor of Enugu for his transformative leadership,” Onaiwu said. “You can see the impact of his work in the lives of ordinary people. He’s not just managing a state he’s building a future.”

According to Onaiwu, the Governor’s leadership reflects the very best of the PDP’s values: vision, compassion, and a deep commitment to service. He noted that under the current administration, Enugu has become a shining example of what’s possible when a leader puts the people first.
Onaiwu, who has long been a voice for good governance and strategic development, urged other leaders across Nigeria to take note of Enugu’s progress and follow suit.

“What we’re seeing in Enugu isn’t just politics, it’s progress. It’s what leadership should look like in every part of this country,” he added.

The statement comes at a time when the PDP continues to reposition itself around strong leadership and grassroots impact.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has lauded the infrastructural strides of Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, particularly the ongoing construction of the state’s first-ever flyover bridge, describing it as a landmark intervention in easing urban traffic and modernizing Edo’s transport system.

The President extolled the governor’s foresight in embarking on the one-kilometre flyover project at Ikpoba Hill in Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area, noting that its completion would transform vehicular movement and strengthen the urban fabric of Benin City.

Tinubu praised Okpebholo’s early performance in office, affirming that the governor had set a new standard of governance in Edo.

The president represented by the Minister of Works, Engr. Dave Umahi, emphasized that the governor’s bold approach to road and bridge construction in the State underscores the All Progressives Congress’ (APC) progressive agenda.

“This is a 24-span structure, each span measuring 20 meters, amounting to a one-kilometre bridge. The quality and pace of work are impressive. Edo is witnessing a first, and I believe more such projects should follow in Benin City to address the heavy traffic,” Umahi conveyed on behalf of the President.

The Minister contrasted the efficiency of state-driven projects with some federal contracts, lamenting that contractors often display greater discipline when working under governors than when handling federal assignments.

He pledged to enforce stricter accountability standards at the federal level to ensure value for money and timely delivery.

“I commend Governor Okpebholo for insisting on concrete technology. Roads built with reinforced concrete last 50 to 100 years, saving scarce resources. Nigeria cannot continue to spend on recurring reconstruction. We must invest in durability,” Umahi stressed.
