Governor Peter Mbah To Officially Join APC From PDP On October 14

Preparations have been finalized for Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah’s official defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, in Enugu, the state capital.

Governor Mbah will reportedly join the ruling party along with several political figures, including members of the National and State Assemblies, state executive officials, and party leaders from various wards and local government areas across the state.

APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, and Deputy National Chairman (South), Hon. Emma Eneukwu, confirmed the move while inaugurating a seven-member caretaker committee for the Enugu State chapter. They described the defection as part of the APC’s broader efforts to strengthen its base and expand its political influence in the South East.

Speaking to newsmen at the APC National Secretariat in Abuja after his inauguration, the new Enugu State APC Caretaker Committee Chairman, Dr. Ben Nwoye, disclosed that the governor and his key aides will be officially received into the party on October 14.

The APC National Working Committee (NWC) had earlier dissolved the Enugu State Working Committee (SWC) and replaced it with a caretaker committee to oversee the party’s affairs in the lead-up to Mbah’s formal entry.
