Peter Mbah dumps PDP for APC
By Jeffrey Agbo
Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah has announced his departure from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The governor said at a press conference on Tuesday that 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’s platform would provide greater opportunities for collaboration and growth.
He thanked the 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.”
Members of Mbah’s cabinet joined the APC on Monday, ahead of the governor’s planned defection.
