Mbah’s Planned Defection to APC Tears Enugu PDP Apart

The political landscape of Enugu State has been thrown into turmoil following reports that Governor Peter Mbah is making plans to defect from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Sources within the state government disclosed that the move, allegedly aimed at securing stronger ties with the federal government, has sparked sharp divisions among PDP stakeholders.

Several party leaders loyal to Mbah have reportedly begun secret meetings to perfect the defection, while others loyal to former Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi have vowed to resist any attempt to collapse the PDP structure in the state.

Insiders say the governor’s recent alignment with top APC figures in Abuja further fueled speculation about his imminent move. Some PDP loyalists fear the defection could weaken the opposition’s base in the Southeast, while others view it as a strategic decision to attract federal attention and development projects to Enugu.

Meanwhile, the APC leadership in Enugu has remained tight-lipped, though sources suggest that talks are at an advanced stage. Political observers say Mbah’s defection, if confirmed, could mark a major shift in the state’s political dynamics ahead of the 2027 general elections.
