Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State is set to officially defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, from the embattled Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The defection is set to take place on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, in Enugu, the State Capital.
Mbah is expected to join the APC along with elected National and State Legislators, members of the State Executive, and Party Leaders from ward and Local Government levels across the State.
Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, APC National Chairman and Deputy National Chairman (South), Hon. Emma Eneukwu, have inaugurated a Seven-Man Caretaker Committee for the Party in Enugu State.
The APC hinted that the ongoing efforts is targeted at strengthening the Party’s influence in the South East region.
The APC National Secretariat in Abuja confirmed this development, after the Seven Man Committee took the oath of office.
The newly inaugurated Enugu State APC Caretaker Committee Chairman, Dr. Ben Nwoye, further disclosed that the Governor and his appointees would officially be received into the party on October 14.
The APC National Working Committee (NWC) had, on Thursday, dissolved the Enugu State Working Committee (SWC) and appointed a seven-member caretaker committee to oversee the Party’s Affairs in the State.
With Mbah out, the PDP no longer has a hold on any State in the South-east, a Zone which was its stronghold.
