Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has officially left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). He made this announcement during a televised address, expressing that his decision was the result of careful reflection.
Mbah stated, “Today, after a long reflection, we have made the decision to leave the Peoples Democratic Party and join the All Progressives Congress.” He explained that this shift is aimed at reshaping and reorganizing the political landscape of Enugu State. He emphasized the importance of making bold choices for the future of the state and its people.
In his address, Mbah underscored that leadership sometimes requires difficult decisions for the sake of higher principles. He remarked, “There comes a time when everyone must make a bold choice to determine their destiny.”
Ahead of the governor’s defection, all members of his cabinet had also joined the APC. His Senior Media Aide, Dan Nwomeh, confirmed this mass defection through a video posted on social media, where government officials were seen openly declaring their allegiance to the APC and praising President Bola Tinubu.
The collective defection represents a significant political shift in Enugu State, which has been a stronghold for the PDP since 1999.
