In a historic turn of events, Enugu State, the last stronghold of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Southeast Nigeria since 1999, is set to become an All Progressives Congress (APC) state by tomorrow. This significant political shift is not the result of an election but rather a strategic transfer and defection, spearheaded by Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah.
According to a recent post by Sen Chijiinkem Ugwuanyi on Facebook, the transition marks a new chapter for Enugu, with Governor Mbah playing a pivotal role in aligning the state with the APC. The post highlights that the process of integrating Mbah and his administration into the APC is nearly complete, evidenced by the departure of both Enugu and Taraba State governors from the PDP Governors WhatsApp group.
The political realignment extends beyond Enugu, with Taraba and Jos identified as the next states likely to follow suit and join the APC. This wave of defections signals a broader restructuring within Nigeria’s political landscape, particularly in the Southeast region.
Sen Ugwuanyi’s post, accompanied by an image of a public gathering, underscores the momentum of this movement with the rallying cry, “WE KEEP Moving.” The image depicts a crowd and a banner, symbolizing the active engagement and support for this transition.
As the political dynamics continue to evolve, all eyes are on Taraba and Jos to see if they will indeed follow Enugu’s lead. This development could reshape the balance of power in the region, marking a significant moment in Nigeria’s political history.
Stay tuned for more updates as this story unfolds.
