Enugu Governor to Join APC After Party Restructuring - Strategic Move for 2023 Elections
Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah is set to join the APC after a meeting with the party's new state chairman, Dr. Ben Nwoye. The move follows the dissolution of the party structure in the state by the APC's National Working Committee.
Governor Mbah's defection is seen as a strategic realignment ahead of the 2023 elections. The resignation of Uche Nnaji, a former minister, is believed to have paved the way for Mbah's entry into the APC.
Nnaji's exit was linked to a certificate scandal, leading to the restructuring of the party leadership in the state with Nwoye's appointment as the caretaker chairman.
