Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress.
The governor made this known at a press conference on Tuesday in Enugu, the state capital.
The governor said that 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.
Mbah stated that his decision to join the APC was his desire for a visionary partnership that would bring about transformative change to the state and the nation.
Mbah, who was accompanied by his immediate predecessor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, state and federal lawmakers, among others, said the decision was not taken lightly, but was necessary to join the APC to better serve the people of the state and align with the party’s vision for development and progress.
