A socio-political organisation in Enugu State, the New Enugu Group, has declared full support for Governor Peter Mbah’s decision to join the All Progressives Congress (APC).
While describing the move as a bold and strategic, the group said it would align the state with the Federal Government for enhanced development opportunities.
In a statement, convener of the group, Henry Okeke, hailed the governor for what he termed a visionary and courageous decision.
According to him, the development marks “a decisive break from the past and the dawn of a new political era in Enugu State,” adding that the move would help attract federal presence, projects and investments long denied the state.
“We declare total support for our capable governor and an icon of the New Enugu State as he takes this historic step to connect our dear state to the Progressive Government at the centre. We align fully with His Excellency in this new dawn,” Okeke said.
He explained that the group, with members spread across the 260 electoral wards of the state, had already activated its grassroots structures to mobilise support for Mbah under the APC platform.
“We reiterate our confidence in his leadership. His achievements in just two years have been unprecedented, and with this alignment, Enugu will experience more jobs, opportunities and accelerated development,” he added. He also expressed optimism that Mbah’s defection would strengthen Enugu’s political relevance at the national level and ensure the delivery of more democratic dividends to the people.
