Governor Peter Mbah says he fully stands by the position of the National Working Committee, NWC, the Board of Trustees, and South East Zonal Executive Committee, ZEC, of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on the crisis rocking the party.

Mbah also expressed support for the National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting of the party scheduled for Monday, June 30th, 2025, saying that while he was still a member of the PDP, he was “simply fed up with the shenanigans that have more or less made the party an endless circus.”

The governor, who made his position known to newsmen after a closed-door meeting with Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State; Chairman of PDP Board of Trustees, Senator Adolphus Wabara; and the South East Zonal Chairman of the party, Chief Ali Odefa, among others, at the Government House, Enugu on Sunday, equally maintained that the position of the South East ZEC of the PDP to review its future with the party if its stand on the issue of the National Secretary was not honoured remained sacrosanct.

“For the record, just as I stated during my interactive session with Fellows and Members of the Nigerian Guild of Editors in Enugu at the weekend, while I am still a member of the PDP, the South East - and that includes me - reserves the right to review our continued membership of the party if the party is unwilling to put its house in order.

“That was invariably the position adopted during our last South East Zonal meeting held here in Enugu. During that meeting, the caucus noted that the party should not disregard the zone’s stand regarding the National Secretary position.

“To all intents and purposes, this has obviously not been the case. So, there is no doubt as to where I stand on the matter.

“The position of the South East with respect to the National Secretaryship of the party as issued in that communique is sacrosanct,” he stated.

Other PDP chieftains at the meeting include the former National Chairman of the party and BOT member, Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo; Senator Sam Egwu, Iyom Josephine Anenih, Senator Ben Obi, and Hon. Udeh-Okoye, among others.

Mark it somewhere this Mbah will defect to APC or he won't win a second term. You can't put your head into controversy as a first term governor
Malinde has nothing to lose. Wike will raise a formidable opposition for Mbah within and outside PDP.

Armanipounds:
If you want to defect, just say it with your full chest, you must not always be cunny with words as politicians... And this your statement would make you so stupid and daft, if it's the APC you're heading to, or chooses as your next destination. Regardless, I wish you luck Governor Mbah.

If Mba moves to APC is only saving grace will be for him to ring the election. Staying in PDP no matter the controversies won't affect his chances of winning in Enugu. 2027 is not far we will see how he plays it.

Antidoteee:
PDP must be delivered from the selfish and arrogant Wike. We can't continue to sit back and watch Wike destroy the party.

Seyi for President

Anything to defeat Tinubu, the destroyer of our economy is welcome

Charbliss90:
Is it wedding ring?🤣 You people think politics is a game of first to finish food. I pray after 2027 election you will not commit suicide.

MrMcJay:
In 2023, despite the LP wave in the East, he won his election.
Even LP supporters campaigned for Mbah. That was when Enugu LP supporters were telling other Obidients to face their states. It was so funny then.

In 2027, even if Mbah decamps to NCNC or Action Group, he will win.
For 2 reasons.

1. He and Wike are playing Pdp. They both AE working for the same candidate.
2. Mbah is relatively performing in Enugu.
3. Other parties can't raise candidates who can defeat him as at today.

Mrfeel:
One thing I know about MBAH is he is focus on working to develop Enugu cause he knows Enugu people will vote for him regardless of whichever party he belongs to,he is doing well and Enugu people can testify to it, both him and otti are loved by the people not the party

If I may ask which state are you from? Secondly, what do you think APC represents in the eyes of an average 042 voters?
