Enugu Governor Peter Mbah Officially Joins APC, Leaves PDP Ahead Of 2027 Elections
Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah has officially defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), joining a growing list of prominent politicians ahead of the 2027 elections. The announcement was made on Tuesday at the Enugu State Government House, with top APC leaders at both the national and state levels in attendance. Mbah was immediately presented with his APC membership card, while the hall was filled with the song “On Your Mandate” to mark the occasion. Governor Mbah explained that his decision was driven by the need to align Enugu State with the federal government and to maximize the state’s development potential. He acknowledged that leaving the PDP was a tough decision but said it was necessary for the state’s future. “For nearly three decades, PDP and the people of Enugu have walked side by side. Yet leadership sometimes demands principled and difficult decisions,” Mbah said. “There comes a time when bold choices must be made to shape our destiny. We have decided to leave the PDP and join the APC. I see in President Tinubu not just a national leader, but a partner in purpose. Together, we believe that transformation must be bold and disruptive. This is not a detour, but a deliberate step toward a more compelling future,” he added.
