Ex-Enugu APC Candidates Woo Governor Mbah

The 2023 House of Assembly Candidates” Forum of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has declared that it is tired of playing opposition politics in the state.

The forum therefore appealed to the state governor, Peter Mbah, to join the APC and link them to the national political grid.

The appeal came barely 48 hours after some APC stakeholders under Progressives Group led by a former chairman, Dr Ben Nwoye, endorsed President Bola Tinubu and Mbah as their sole candidates for the 2027 general elections.

The coordinator of the forum, Mr. Godwin Onwusi, spoke on behalf of other candidates at a press conference held in Enugu.

Onwusi told journalists that they had forwarded a letter to the governor requesting him to join the APC for the betterment of the state.
