“Today, after a long reflection, we have made the decision to leave the Peoples Democratic Party and join the All Progressives Congress,” he stated.
The governor noted that his move was guided by a renewed vision to transform Enugu State and ensure its development aligns with national growth plans.
He also emphasised that his decision was not taken lightly, describing it as a matter of conviction and leadership responsibility.
“Today, I stand before you to announce a break from the past and to share a decision that will shape the road ahead,” he said.
“This concerns our values, how we organize ourselves politically, and how we secure the future of our project and our people.
“Leadership sometimes demands painful decisions in the service of higher principles and goals. And there comes a time when everyone must make a bold choice to determine their destiny.”
