Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah is set to dump the Peoples Democratic Party for the ruling All Progressives Congress next week.
APC National Chairman and Deputy National Chairman, South-East, Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda and Emma Eneukwu, respectively, disclosed this to newsmen in Abuja on Friday.
The APC national leadership revealed Mbah’s imminent defection to the ruling party while swearing in the newly inaugurated members of the Enugu State caretaker committee, led by former state chairman, Ben Nwoye, at the party’s national headquarters in Abuja.
Governor Mbah is expected to announce his defection at an event schedule to hold in the state next week.
Chairman of the newly inaugurated caretaker committee, Nwoye, who confirmed the development, said Mbah will join the ruling APC alongside all his appointees.
Speculations are also rife that Taraba State Governor, Agbu Kefas, is about to join the APC.
