2027 elections: Enugu lawmaker flags off campaign, pledges people-centred engagement

Deputy Chief Whip of the Enugu State House of Assembly and Member representing Enugu South Rural Constituency, Hon. Princess Obiagulu Ugwu, has officially flagged-off her campaign for re-election in the 2027 general elections.

Speaking at the campaign flag-off in Enugu on Thursday, Ugwu expressed particular delight at the deliberate efforts of the administration of Governor Peter Mbah to change the narrative of governance in Enugu state.

The lawmaker described the Mbah’s administration trajectory as “one that deserves to be communicated to citizens with facts and clarity.”

She noted that the 2027 campaign season had commenced with an unprecedented level of structure and coordination, beginning with  candidates’ summit hosted by the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Chief Victor Udeh.

According to her, the summit provided candidates with practical guidance on conducting structured, issue-based campaigns; thus, maintaining unity and ensuring a coordinated approach towards victory for all the party’s flag bearers.

She said, “We are beginning this campaign differently.

“We are beginning with structure, with issues, with unity and with a clear understanding that the people deserve to know what has been achieved, what remains to be done and where we are going.

“As part of the flag-off activities, citizens have been presented with a compendium highlighting the achievements of the Mbah administration in its first three-plus years in office.”

Ugwu said that the compendium is intended to equip citizens with verifiable facts as the state enters the 2027 electoral season.
