After defection, Enugu Governor Mbah pays Tinubu a visit.

A few days after switching from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah met with President Bola Tinubu at the State House in Abuja.

Mbah revealed the meeting’s specifics in a post on his verified X handle on Wednesday, stating that the main topic of conversation was enhancing cooperation between the Federal Government and Enugu State.

At the State House in Abuja, I had the privilege of meeting with His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, today.

“We talked about how to improve cooperation between the Federal Government and Enugu State in order to provide our people with more prosperity.

“Enugu remains fully committed to playing its part in building a stronger, united, and more prosperous Nigeria,” Mbah wrote.

XANDERTECH recalls that Mbah officially dumped the PDP for the APC on October 14 during a recent press conference held in Enugu, the state capital.

According to the governor, his decision to join the ruling party was driven by his commitment to advancing Enugu’s interests and aligning the state’s development agenda with the Federal Government’s policies.

He described his defection as “a strategic move for visionary partnership that would bring transformative change” to both Enugu State and the nation.

Mbah, who was accompanied by his predecessor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, as well as state and federal lawmakers, said the decision was not taken lightly, noting that it was necessary to better serve the people of Enugu and ensure inclusive development under the APC-led Federal Government.
