BREAKING: Enugu Governor, Peter Mbah Dumps PDP for APC
Governor Peter Mbah and over 80% of party executives shifted to APC seeking stronger federal partnership and accelerated development after feeling sidelined in the PDP.
- On Tuesday, October 14, 2025, Governor Peter Mbah declared he left the Peoples Democratic Party to join the All Progressives Congress in a televised broadcast and press conference in Enugu.
- Mbah said the decision followed complaints that the Peoples Democratic Party often disregarded the voice of Enugu and the South‑East, and joining the All Progressives Congress would accelerate development.
- After members of his cabinet declared allegiance the day before, Governor Peter Mbah said the defection was backed by National and State Assembly members, State Executive Council members, local government chairmen and councillors, appointees, and over 80% of party executives.
- He assured Ndi Enugu that ongoing projects and development momentum will continue and said joining the All Progressives Congress would attract federal government projects and investment.
- The shift marks a major political realignment in the South‑East as Mbah becomes the third Peoples Democratic Party governor to defect after Sheriff Oborevwori and Umoh Eno.
