In her remarks, Mrs. Rita Edeh, Wife of the Chairman of Nkanu East L.G.A., described the August Meeting as a platform to mobilize women for unity, growth, and self-reliance. She stressed that the collaborative empowerment program was not just about celebration, but about equipping women with resources that enable them to contribute meaningfully to their families and society.

The event also attracted the presence of the State Woman Leader of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Hon. Peace Nnaji, who commended the First Lady for championing initiatives that empower women across Enugu State. She urged the women of Nkanu East to remain united and continue to support the PDP-led government in sustaining grassroots development.

In their goodwill messages, the Chairman of Nkanu East Local Government Council, Hon. Sydney Okechukwu Edeh, and the Member representing Nkanu East in the Enugu State House of Assembly, Hon. Okechukwu Mbah, pledged their unwavering support to the Governor’s transformative agenda. They, alongside other PDP stakeholders in the L.G.A., applauded Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah’s achievements within two and a half years in office, citing strides in infrastructure, healthcare, education, and empowerment as proof of visionary leadership.

Stakeholders, women leaders, and political actors in Nkanu East vowed to deliver overwhelming support ahead of the 2027 General Elections, describing him as the pride of Enugu and a reformer whose vision has repositioned the state on the path of prosperity.

The 2025 Nkanu East August Meeting, hosted by Mrs. Rita Edeh, thus wrapped up the series of women’s gatherings across the state, serving not only as a cultural homecoming but also as a bold declaration of unity, empowerment, and political solidarity with the Governor of Enugu State.
