APC Dissolves Enugu State Executive Committee Ahead of Governor Peter Mbah’s Defection, 

In a major political shake-up, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has dissolved the Enugu State executive committee as part of ongoing realignments ahead of the anticipated defection of Governor Peter Mbah to the ruling party.

The decision, confirmed by senior party sources in Abuja, is said to be part of a broader restructuring aimed at positioning the APC for greater strength in the South East, particularly in Enugu State, where Governor Mbah’s expected entry is seen as a game-changer for the party’s fortunes.

According to reports, the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) took the decision to dissolve the Enugu structure to pave the way for a new leadership that will accommodate the governor and his political allies. A caretaker committee is expected to be announced soon to oversee the transition process until a fresh congress is conducted.

This move is coming amid other significant developments within the party, as the APC has disqualified Kayode Ojo, a leading aspirant, from participating in the upcoming Ekiti State Governorship Primary Election.

The disqualification, insiders reveal, stemmed from issues related to documentation and internal party screening, though Ojo’s camp has vowed to appeal the decision, describing it as politically motivated.
Political observers believe both actions reflect APC’s ongoing internal power recalibration ahead of the 2027 general elections, as the party works to consolidate its dominance nationwide.
Governor Peter Mbah’s potential defection, if confirmed, would mark one of the most high-profile movements from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in recent months, signaling renewed realignments in Nigeria’s political landscape.
