Mbah wrote that leadership can demand tough choices for higher goals. ValidUpdates carried early hints in an earlier quiet move report. Today’s post removes doubt and sets a clear political path.
What he said today
“Today, after long reflection, we leave PDP for APC,” he said. He called the move a collective step by his political family. He added, “This is no whimsical decision for us today.”
Why it matters for Enugu
Mbah frames the switch as alignment with federal reform plans. He praises President Tinubu as a partner with shared aims. He says this will speed projects, security, and access to support.
The statement lists gains in schools, health centres, and safety. It claims crime fell by eighty percent across the state. It also cites new police tools and a command hub.
He highlights water mains, restored supply, and long planned road work. He says over one thousand kilometres of roads are paved. He projects rising flights, tourism, and a fuller local market.
He mentions Enugu Air and targets direct links to key cities. He touts farm estates, bus terminals, and planned eco sites. He expects three million visitors to the state by 2026.
For funding and reach, he backs the Ward Development Programme. It aims to empower people in all eight thousand eight hundred wards. He says it fits his ward-based plans across local councils.
The switch lands amid louder calls for regional ties with Abuja. See our South-East backs Tinubu piece for wider currents. Mbah says Enugu will speak clearly within that bigger frame.
