He said, “Today, after a long reflection, we have made the decision to leave the Peoples Democratic Party and join the All Progressives Congress.”
According to Governor Peter Mbah, he joined the PDP in order to change Enugu and reorganise the political system in the state.
“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.
“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.”
