Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah, has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He announced this on Tuesday at a press conference in Enugu, stating that the decision was made after “long reflection.”
His words, “To the Peoples Democratic Party, which provided us the platform on which we campaigned and won, I extend deep gratitude. The PDP supported us through a demanding campaign and joined us in celebrating the victory,
“Leadership demands difficult, even painful, decisions in the service of higher principles and goals. And there comes always a time where everyone must make a bold choice to determine their destiny.
“Today, after a long reflection, we have made a decision to join the All Progressives Congress.”
Mbah also joined the crowd in singing the APC’s signature anthem, “On Your Mandate We Shall Stand”.
The defection comes a day after several members of Mbah’s cabinet also announced their switch to the APC.
