Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah says he will collaborate with the government at the centre, led by President Bola Tinubu to attract more democratic dividends to his people.
The Governor disclosed this in an interview with State House Correspondents after he met behind closed doors with the Nigerian leader.

He also used the opportunity to appeal for the release of the detained leader of the proscribed group, Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
Mbah said his appeal was based on the promise by the President to engender national healing and serve with compassion in his inaugural speech.
He expressed the hope that the President would give favourable consideration to the request for the self-acclaimed leader of IPOB to regain his freedom.
“We talked about the release of Nnamdi Kanu. You Know that the South-East has made a collective demand to have Nnamdi Kanu released and we basically identified with that and requested that the President, who in his inaugural address promised Nigerians that he is going to engender national healing and he is going to serve with compassion.
“So, we have basically informed him that this would serve as a pointer to his administration’s extension of hands of fellowship to Ndigbo,” he said.
