Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has commended Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, for dumping the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and joining the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Daily Post reports that Mbah, who was elected on the PDP platform in the 2023 general elections, announced his defection to the APC on Tuesday, citing the need to align Enugu with the federal government for faster development.
Reacting in a post on X, Keyamo described the APC as a “natural home” for Mbah’s developmental vision, noting that his record of governance and achievements made the move a fitting one.
“When I came to Enugu a few months ago to launch Enugu Air, I said it would be a miracle for anyone to beat you in future elections,” Keyamo said. “Thank God you’ve now joined forces with President Bola Tinubu to deepen progress and unity in Enugu and the Southeast.”
The minister further described Mbah as the “undisputed leader of Enugu APC,” assuring him that the decision would strengthen his political base in the state.
