Enugu Gov Mbah set to dump PDP for APC

Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State is set to defect from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) next week.

Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda and Emma Eneukwu, National Chairman and Deputy National Chairman of the APC in the South-East, respectively, broke the news in Abuja on Friday.

The APC national leadership revealed Mbah’s imminent defection to the ruling party while swearing in the newly inaugurated members of the Enugu State caretaker committee, led by former state chairman, Ben Nwoye, at the party’s national headquarters in Abuja.

The governor is expected to announce his defection at an event scheduled to be held in the state next week.

Chairman of the newly inaugurated caretaker committee, Nwoye, who confirmed the development, said the governor will join the ruling party alongside all his appointees.

There are speculations that Taraba State Governor, Agbu Kefas, is also set to join the APC.
