Okenwa, who is popularly known as C,E,O,, noted that the visit of the President remained commendable, adding that “it goes to show that everybody and every zone matters in this administration”.
On the inauguration of so much projects in Enugu State, Okenwa said that Tinubu had sent a message across to the governors that through their transformative strides in their various states the needed development of the country would be assured.
“President Tinubu’s massive inauguration of people-oriented and impact projects built by Gov. Mbah with a short period of about 18 months is a wake up call for other governors lagging behind.

The LEAD Network boss also hailed Gov. Mbah for his unprecedented developmental strides, adding: “Gov. Mbah within few months in office has been politically and developmentally smart.”
