The All Progressives Congress, APC, has officially presented the party’s membership card to Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State.
The party formally confirms the governor’s defection from the Peoples Democratic Party to the ruling party.
This was contained in a post on its verified X handle on Tuesday, shortly after Mbah publicly declared his decision to join the party in a state broadcast titled “Charting a New Course: Transition from PDP to APC.”
“The APC National Working Committee, NWC, has formally presented the Party’s membership card to the Governor of Enugu State, His Excellency, Dr. Peter Mbah officially marking his entry into the APC,” the post read.
The governor, in his broadcast earlier on Tuesday, said his decision to leave the PDP was not a personal or emotional move, but a strategic choice made after months of consultation.
According to him, the South East had been loyal to the PDP for decades but had often been disregarded when it mattered most, saying that joining the APC would ensure Enugu’s voice is heard at the national level.
