Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has officially defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Mbah made the announcement on Tuesday during a press conference in Enugu, explaining that his decision was motivated by a desire to better serve the people of the state and align with the APC’s “vision for development and progress.”

The governor expressed optimism that his new political platform would foster stronger collaboration and unlock fresh opportunities for growth and development in Enugu State.

He, however, appreciated the PDP for its support over the years, describing his decision to leave the party as a difficult but necessary step in pursuit of his administration’s broader 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.

“Leadership demands difficult, even painful decisions, in the service of higher principles and goals. And there comes always a time when 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,” Mbah stated.
