Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, is set to formally defect from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, in Enugu, the state capital.
Mbah will be joining the ruling party alongside several elected national and state legislators, members of the state executive, and political leaders from various local government areas across the state.
APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, and Deputy National Chairman (South), Hon. Emma Eneukwu, hinted at the planned defection while inaugurating a seven-member caretaker committee for the party in Enugu. They noted that the move is part of efforts to strengthen the APC’s presence in the South East.
Confirming the development in Abuja, the newly inaugurated Enugu State APC Caretaker Committee Chairman, Dr. Ben Nwoye, said Governor Mbah and his team would be officially received into the party during the ceremony on Tuesday.
The APC National Working Committee (NWC) had earlier dissolved the Enugu State Working Committee (SWC) and appointed the caretaker team to oversee the party’s affairs in the state.
