All Enugu House of Reps members defect from PDP to APC, received by APC National Chairman Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda in Abuja.
In a dramatic political shift, all members of the House of Representatives from Enugu State have officially defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The mass defection took place today in the Green Chamber of the National Assembly, marking a significant moment in Nigeria’s evolving political landscape.
The lawmakers were formally received into the APC by the party’s National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, who commended their decision to join the ruling party. He described the move as a testament to the growing influence and reform agenda of the APC across the Southeast region.
Speaking at the event, Prof. Yilwatda assured the new members of equal opportunity and support, noting that the APC remains open to leaders committed to advancing development and unity across Nigeria.
Political observers say this mass defection could reshape the power dynamics in Enugu politics ahead of future elections, signaling waning influence for the PDP in the state.
The lawmakers expressed their readiness to align with President Bola Tinubu’s administration in driving national growth, infrastructure development, and economic recovery.
This development underscores the growing political realignments across Nigeria as parties position themselves for stronger influence in the coming years.
