Peter Mbah Exits PDP for APC, Emphasizes Commitment to Higher Principles

Enugu’s governor, Peter Mbah, has switched to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He made the announcement at a news conference on Tuesday.

The governor claimed that in order to better serve the people of Enugu and to support the party’s goals for growth and advancement, he decided to join the APC.

During the briefing, Mbah stated his dedication to furthering the state’s interests and his belief that the APC platform would offer more chances for cooperation and development.

He acknowledged that the change is necessary to meet the objectives of his administration, but he praised his old party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), for the support over the years.

My sincere appreciation goes out to the Peoples Democratic Party, which gave us the platform on which we ran and prevailed. The PDP joined us in celebrating the win and helped us through a tough campaign,” he said.

Making tough, even painful, choices in the service of loftier ideals and objectives is a requirement of leadership. And everyone has to make a brave decision at some point in order to decide their future.

“We decided to join the All Progressives Congress today after much deliberation.”

Ahead of the governor’s scheduled defection, Mbah’s cabinet members joined the APC on Monday.
