Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has officially dumped the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
Governor Mbah made his defection public in a televised broadcast on Tuesday.
He said, “Today, after a long reflection, we have made the decision to leave the Peoples Democratic Party and join the All Progressives Congress.”
Mbah said he joined the PDP to help transform Enugu and restructure the state’s political landscape.
“Today, I stand before you to announce a break from the past and to share a decision that will shape the road ahead.
“This concerns our values, how we organize ourselves politically and how we secure the future of our project and our people.
“Leadership sometimes demands painful decisions in the service of higher principles and goals. And there comes a time when everyone must make a bold choice to determine their destiny.”
