‘Here’s What I Told Peter Mbah When I Visited Him Months Ago’ – Keyamo

Festus Keyamo, Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, has praised Peter Mbah, the governor of Enugu State, for switching from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Mbah reportedly declared his defection to the APC on Tuesday, stating that Enugu needed to join with the federal administration for quicker growth.

In a tweet on his 𝕏 handle on Tuesday, Keyamo responded to the news by revealing that he warned the governor during a visit to Enugu a few months ago that it would be a miracle for anyone to defeat him in future elections.

APC was his natural home, he said, and he commended Mbah for his progressive agenda.

“I said it would be a miracle for anyone to beat you in future elections when I came to Enugu a few months ago to launch Enugu Air,” Keyamo wrote. We are grateful that you have teamed up with President Bola Tinubu to further the advancement and solidarity of Enugu and the Southeast.

The minister assured Mbah that the decision will increase his support base in the state and further referred to him as the “undisputed leader of Enugu APC”.

Political strategist Prof. Udenta Udenta has called the governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) defecting to the All Progressives Congress a show of fear and lack of courage.

When answering questions during an interview on Arise Television on Tuesday, Udenta reportedly said this.

Dismissing claims that the PDP was disintegrating, the Alliance for Democracy’s (AD) founding national secretary emphasized that the party is still powerful and politically active.

He insisted that rather than individual politicians leaving the party for personal gain, the party’s identity and power were derived from the people.

Udenta added that he had previously based his assessment of former President Goodluck Jonathan’s possible comeback to politics only on political factors and not on insider knowledge.

“When I talked about the former president’s prospects, I didn’t speak as a spokesperson,” he said.

He has not disclosed the election’s political background. Even his membership in the party is merely for him to explain its standing.

“If you choose to use the PDP as a platform, the party is thriving despite a change in the upper echelons of the political elite, the governors, who for whatever reason decide to say, okay, we’re going to call it a day, we’re going to join the APC where we think their gluttony will power our own ambition.”
