All Cabinet Members, Commissioners dump PDP ahead of Governors defection to APC
Ahead of his anticipated defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), several members of the Enugu State Executive Council have publicly pledged their support for Governor Peter Mbah.
A video shared on Monday by Dan Nwomeh, Senior Special Assistant on Media to the Governor, featured top cabinet officials reaffirming their loyalty to Mbah and endorsing his move to the ruling party.
Among those seen in the footage were Dr. Lawrence Ezeh, Commissioner for Innovation, Science and Technology; Dr. Amaka S. Ngene, Chairman of the Science, Technical, and Vocational Schools Management Board; and Dr. Felix Nnamani, Commissioner for Labour and Employment.
Nwomeh’s post read: “Government House has realigned and connected to the centre. APCeee! Progress! Tomorrow is here!” An APC flag was also visibly displayed at the Enugu Government House, signaling the governor’s imminent switch.
The APC has confirmed that Governor Mbah will formally join the party on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, in Enugu.
Following his swearing-in last Friday at the APC National Secretariat, Enugu APC Caretaker Chairman, Dr. Ben Nwoye, announced that Mbah would be joined by several lawmakers and prominent political figures from the state.
APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, and Deputy National Chairman (South), Emma Eneukwu, described the defection as a strategic move to strengthen the party’s foothold in the South-East.
