Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah has officially dumped the Peoples Democractic Party (PDP) for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). He recently announced his defection in a televised address today, and Nigerians have been reacting.
According to him, his decision to join the PDP was triggered by the need to reshape Enugu and reorganise the politics of the state.
Mbah stated that he decided to take the bold step to better the future of existing projects and the Enugu people.
“Today, after a long reflection, we have made the decision to leave the Peoples Democratic Party and join the All Progressives Congress.
Today, I stand before you to announce a break from the past and to share a decision that will shape the road ahead. This concerns our values, how we organize ourselves politically and how we secure the future of our project and our people,” he said.
The Governor further noted that leadership requires heavy sacrifices from time to time for the greater good.
Mbah concluded by saying that his latest choice will definitely go a long way towards shaping his destiny as Enugu State Governor.
“Leadership sometimes demands painful decisions in the service of higher principles and goals.
And there comes a time, when everyone must make a bold choice to determine their destiny,” he added.
