The Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, on Wednesday met with President Bola Tinubu at the State House in Abuja.
Naijaonpoint reports that the latest development comes a few days after Mbah defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The governor said his decision to join the ruling party was driven by his commitment to advancing Enugu’s interests and aligning the state’s development agenda with the Federal Government’s policies.
He described his defection as “a strategic move for visionary partnership that would bring transformative change” to both Enugu State and the nation.
Mbah, who was accompanied by his predecessor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, as well as state and federal lawmakers, said the decision was not taken lightly, noting that it was necessary to “better serve the people of Enugu and ensure inclusive development under the APC-led Federal Government.”
In a post on X, Mbah shared details of his meeting with Tinubu, noting that their discussions focused on strengthening collaboration between Enugu State and the Federal Government.
Mbah emphasised that Enugu State remains fully committed to playing its part in building a stronger, united, and more prosperous Nigeria.
He wrote, “Today, I had the honour of meeting with His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, at the State House, Abuja.
“We discussed ways to strengthen collaboration between Enugu State and the Federal Government to deliver greater prosperity for our people.
“Enugu remains fully committed to playing its part in building a stronger, united, and more prosperous Nigeria.”
