Nigeria, Oct. 14 -- Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has finally defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Mr Mbah announced his defection in a state broadcast in Enugu on Tuesday after weeks of speculation.

The governor defected to the APC alongside all commissioners and elected chairpersons of all 17 local government areas in the state.

He added that he also defected to the APC alongside all elected councillors and at least 80 percent of the PDP executives.

"Today, after a long reflection, we have made the decision to leave the Peoples Democratic Party and join the All Progressives Congress," he said amid cheers from supporters.

Details later.
