Peter Mbah, governor of Enugu, has defected to the All
Progressives Congress (APC).
He announced the move on Tuesday during a press conference.
The governor said he made the decision to join the APC to
better serve the people of Enugu and align with the party’s vision for
development and progress.
During the briefing, Mbah said he is committed to advancing
the state’s interests and expressed confidence that the APC platform would
provide greater opportunities for collaboration and growth.
He thanked his former party, the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), for the support through the years, but noted that the shift is
imperative to achieve his administration’s goals.
“To the Peoples Democratic Party which provided us the
platform on which we campaigned and won, I extend deep gratitude. The PDP
supported us through a demanding campaign and joined us in celebrating the
victory,” he said.
“Leadership demands difficult, even painful decisions, in
the service of higher principles and goals. And there comes always a time where
everyone must make a bold choice to determine their destiny.
“Today, after a long reflection, we have made a decision to
join the All Progressives Congress.”
On Monday, members of Mbah’s cabinet had joined the APC,
ahead of the governor’s planned defection.
