All Progressives Congress is set to formally welcome the defection of Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, from the Peoples Democratic Party on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, in Enugu, the state capital.

Mbah is expected to join the ruling party alongside elected national and state legislators, members of the state executive, and party leaders from ward and local government levels across the state.

The Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the Party, Duro Meseko, had earlier hinted that the party is preparing to effect the defection of Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu into the ruling party on Thursday.

APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, and Deputy National Chairman (South), Hon. Emma Eneukwu, while inaugurating a seven-man caretaker committee for the party in Enugu State, stated the ongoing efforts to strengthen the party’s influence in the South East region.

Confirming the development to newsmen at the APC National Secretariat in Abuja after taking the oath of office, the newly inaugurated Enugu State APC Caretaker Committee Chairman, Dr Ben Nwoye, disclosed that the governor and his appointees would officially be received into the party on October 14.
