Ahead of Governor Peter Mbah’s expected formal defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday, members of his cabinet have resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and joined the ruling party.
The mass defection reportedly took place over the weekend and was made public on Monday, October 13, 2025, following a meeting at the Government House, Enugu.
The development was confirmed in a video shared by Dan Nwomeh, Senior Media Aide to Governor Mbah.

In the video, Nwomeh wrote: “Enugu State Cabinet Members join the APC with full chest along with Governor PN Mbah — from left to right: Commissioner for Innovation, Science and Technology, Dr Lawrence Ezeh; Chairman, Science, Technical and Vocational Schools Management Board, Dr Amaka S Ngene; and Commissioner for Labour and Employment, Dr Felix Nnamani.”
The state officials were seen in the footage hailing President Bola Tinubu and chanting pro-APC slogans such as: “We are now in APC; tomorrow is here; it is APC all the way; it is Jagaban all the way; from top to bottom.”
Sources close to Government House confirmed that, beyond the commissioners, most of the governor’s aides have also declared for the APC.
