Enugu Governor, Peter Mbah has officially dumped PDP and joined APC.
NaijaOnPoint Nigeria reports that Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, has officially defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The governor announced his decision during a state-wide broadcast on Monday, describing the move as a strategic step to ensure that Enugu remains connected to the central government for accelerated development.
Governor Mbah explained that his defection was driven by the need to align the state with the ruling party at the federal level, which, according to him, would enhance access to national projects and federal partnerships.
He also commended President Bola Tinubu for his leadership style and economic policies, noting that Enugu State has benefited significantly from the President’s support since he assumed office.
The defection marks a major political shift in the South-East, as Mbah becomes one of the first sitting governors in the region to join the APC.
