Tomorrow Is Here Movement Penetrates Udenu LGA

The Tomorrow Is Here Movement (THM), a Pro-Gov. Peter Mbah's organisation, has urged its members to intensify grassroots mobilisation, ensuring that every vote counts for Mbah's re-election come 2027.

The President of the movement, Chief Tony Okonkwo, gave the directive on Tuesday while inaugurating the Udenu Local Government Area (LGA) Chapter of the movement at the popular Obollo Affor Market.

Okonkwo said that the Udenu LGA Chapter stands as a testament to the growing influence of the Tomorrow Is Here Movement as a formidable platform for grassroots mobilisation, political awareness, and inclusive governance.

According to him, this event not only reinforced the movement’s alignment with the developmental vision of the Enugu State Government but also highlighted its role as a bridge between leadership and the people.

Okonkwo also outlined key achievements of the current administration within a short period in office. 

He stressed on critical developmental projects, particularly the 260 Smart Schools Initiative, urging the people of Udenu LGA to take ownership and safeguard these facilities across all wards. 

He reiterated the importance of community participation in protecting government investments for the benefit of future generations.

Corroborating, the Commissioner for Energy and Mines, Chief Enyinaya Ogbonna, commended Gov. Mbah for what he described "as transformative leadership that is redefining governance in Enugu State". 

Ogbonna described the movement as a people-oriented structure, distinct from conventional political platforms that primarily serve elite interests.

According to the commissioner, the uniqueness of the movement lies in its inclusive nature and its commitment to carrying the people along in governance processes.

He stressed that the movement belongs to the masses and serves as a veritable platform for grassroots participation and development.

Speaking, the Deputy Speaker of the Enugu State House of Assembly, Hon. Ezenta Ezeani, engaged the audience through his widely recognised “Gwam Gwam Gwam” sensitisation approach.

Ezeani, who is also the Vice President of the Movement, used his sensitisation and interactive sessions to focus on enlightening the people about government policies, projects, and expectations of the state government under Gov. Mbah. 

He emphasised the need for continuous public awareness and participation to ensure the success and sustainability of government initiatives in Udenu and beyond.

Also speaking, the Chairman of Udenu Local Government, Chief Aka Eze Aka, applauded the movement for its proactive role in ensuring that government policies and developmental initiatives are effectively communicated to rural communities. 

Aka emphasised that "such engagement is critical in bridging the gap between governance and the people". 

The chairman, in a show of solidarity, further pledged his intention to formally identify with and become a member of the movement.

In an opening remark, the Udenu Local Government Coordinator of the movement, Chief Michael Urama, expressed appreciation for the sustained leadership and infrastructural strides of Gov. Mbah.

Urama made particular reference to the buses provided for Nsukka residents commuting to Enugu each day, describing them as highly luxurious and of superior standard.

"They are far better compared to what I experienced during my stay in South Africa," he said.

He further commended the governor for creating an enabling political environment that had made participation in governance more accessible and effective for stakeholders and grassroots actors alike.

The event also featured a moment of youth engagement and empowerment, as a young girl who correctly answered a question during the interactive session was awarded a scholarship; thus, demonstrating the movement’s commitment to education and human capital development.
