Charting A New Course: Our Transition From PDP To APC, Is Rooted In Service And Sacrifice For A Better Enugu State. – Peter Mbah, Group Hails Decision

Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). The defection, which was announced on October 14, 2025, marks a major shift in the state’s political landscape.

According to Governor Mbah, the decision to defect was made after long reflection and consultation with his team. He emphasized that the move was necessary to advance the state’s interests and align with the APC’s vision for development and progress.

“This is no whimsical decision. It’s a collective move by the political family in Enugu State, comprising members of the National Assembly, members of the State House of Assembly, the State Executive Council, all the Local Government Chairmen and Councillors, all political appointees, and over 80% of Party Executives,” Mbah said.

The governor highlighted the progress made in Enugu State under his leadership, including the completion of smart green schools, primary healthcare centers, and roads. He also noted that the state’s internally generated revenue had increased by 600%.

Mbah assured the people of Enugu State that the defection would not affect the ongoing projects and that his administration would continue to prioritize service delivery and development.

Okechukwu Nwafor, Coordinator of Concerned Professionals for Good Governance, a good governance advocacy group, has praised Governor Mbah’s decision, describing it as a step in the right direction for Enugu State’s development. Nwafor commended Governor Mbah’s leadership and vision, citing the state’s progress under his administration
