Sam Amadi Breaks Silence: ‘Here’s Why I Support Peter Mbah’s Exit From PDP

Public affairs analyst and former Chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), Sam Amadi, has said he does not fault Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, for leaving the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to join the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Governor Mbah had announced his defection during a state-wide broadcast, explaining that the decision was aimed at aligning Enugu State with the central government.

Reacting in a post on (formerly Twitter), Amadi blamed the PDP’s decline on its overreliance on the financial influence of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.

According to him, while the APC remains the most structured and sensible political party in Nigeria, its presidential candidate leaves much to be desired.

Amadi further described Labour Party’s 2023 presidential flagbearer, Peter Obi, as the most capable leader to rescue Nigeria but questioned which platform he would use for his next political move.

He wrote:

“I do not blame Peter Mbah for dumping @OfficialPDPNig for the @OfficialAPCNg. The PDP destroyed itself by its love for Wike’s money.

APC is the best-organized and most sensible party, but it has a bad presidential candidate.

@PeterObi is the best man to save Nigeria now — but which party will he use?”
