Mbah explained that the move was motivated by a desire to better serve the people of Enugu and to align with the APC’s vision for development and progress.
“I am committed to advancing the state’s interests, and I believe the APC platform will provide greater opportunities for collaboration and growth,” he said.
The governor expressed gratitude to his former party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), for its support over the years, but emphasized that the shift was necessary to achieve the objectives of his administration.
