Enugu State Governor, Peter Ndubuisi Mbah has come out to give the reasons why he dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
He made the declaration during a televised broadcast to the people of the state.
The governor explained and justified his defection by saying it was necessary to connect the South-East to the central government.
“Today, after a long reflection, we have made a decision to join the All Progressives Congress,” Mbah stated.
The governor thanked the PDP for the support he got through the years, stressing that the shift is imperative to achieve his administration’s goals.
“To the Peoples Democratic Party which provided us the platform on which we campaigned and won, I extend deep gratitude. The PDP supported us through a demanding campaign and joined us in celebrating the victory.
“Leadership demands proper, difficult, even painful decisions, in the service of higher principles and goals. And there comes always a time where everyone must make a bold choice to determine their destiny,” he added.
According to Mbah, his decision to join the APC was driven by his desire to better serve the people of Enugu and align with the party’s vision for development and progress.
The governor also reiterated his commitment to advancing the state’s interests and expressed confidence that the APC platform would provide greater opportunities for collaboration and growth.
Mbah, who moved to the APC with House of Assembly members, councillors, and chairmen of councils, also commended President Bola Tinubu’s policies, saying the state has enjoyed massive support under the President.
There are strong indications that Bayelsa State Governor Duoye Diri’s defection will be announced soon, as all plans have been finalised.
It would be recalled that the governors of Delta, Sheriff Obvwevori, and Akwa Ibom States, Umo Eno also joined the APC with their cabinet members earlier this year.
