Revealed: Inside Tinubu’s Closed-Door Meeting With Gov Mbah After Sh*cking Defection To APC

Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, on Wednesday, paid a visit to President Bola Tinubu at the State House in Abuja — just days after his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Mbah explained that his decision to join the ruling party was guided by a desire to advance Enugu’s development goals and ensure the state’s policies align with the Federal Government’s reform agenda.

Describing his move as a “strategic partnership for transformative governance,” the governor said it was aimed at deepening collaboration that would deliver tangible growth for both Enugu State and Nigeria at large.

Accompanied by his predecessor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, alongside state and federal lawmakers, Mbah said the decision was carefully considered and taken “in the interest of the people of Enugu,” to guarantee inclusive progress under the APC-led administration.

Sharing details of the meeting on his official X handle, the governor noted that discussions with President Tinubu centred on strengthening cooperation between the state and the Federal Government to attract more development projects.

He wrote:

“Today, I had the honour of meeting with His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, at the State House, Abuja.
We discussed ways to enhance collaboration between Enugu State and the Federal Government to deliver greater prosperity for our people.
Enugu remains fully committed to building a stronger, united, and more prosperous Nigeria.”
