PDP Betrayed Me — Gov Peter Mbah Reveals Real Reason Behind APC Defection

Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, has formally announced his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Speaking at a press conference in Enugu on Tuesday, Governor Mbah said his decision was guided by a desire to better serve the people and align with the APC’s progressive vision for national development.

He explained that the move followed deep introspection and a commitment to place the state’s interests above personal or party considerations.

“Leadership often requires making tough and sometimes painful decisions in pursuit of greater goals,” Mbah said. “After extensive reflection, I have decided to join the All Progressives Congress to continue delivering the development our people deserve.”

The governor expressed appreciation to the PDP for providing the platform that brought him to power, acknowledging the party’s role during his election campaign.

“To the Peoples Democratic Party, which gave us the opportunity to contest and win, I express my heartfelt gratitude. The party stood with us through a challenging campaign and celebrated our victory,” he said.

Mbah, however, emphasized that his defection was aimed at accelerating Enugu’s growth through stronger collaboration with the federal government and access to broader developmental opportunities.

“Our focus remains the same — to serve the people of Enugu. Joining the APC will enable us to deepen partnerships and open new doors for progress,” he added.
