Enugu – In a significant political development, Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah met with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the State House in Abuja on Wednesday.
The meeting, which took place just days after Mbah’s high-profile defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has sparked widespread discussion across Nigeria’s political landscape.
This meeting follows Mbah’s announcement on October 21, 2025, where he declared his defection from the PDP to the APC, a move that included the majority of Enugu State’s political leadership, including commissioners, local government chairpersons, and over 80% of PDP executives.
Mbah framed the switch as a strategic alignment to connect Enugu’s destiny with the federal government’s broader reform agenda, praising Tinubu’s leadership and commitment to the Southeast region’s development.
Political analysts suggest that this meeting could signal the beginning of intensified federal-state collaborations, with Enugu potentially benefiting from infrastructure and economic projects under Tinubu’s administration.
