A major political realignment is unfolding in Enugu State as the Uche Nnaji–Ugo Agballah–led faction of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has formally collapsed its structure in support of Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, marking what stakeholders are describing as a historic truce and a turning point in the state’s political landscape.
In a show of unity, Barr. Ugochukwu Agballah led thousands of supporters across party lines to publicly pledge loyalty and allegiance to Governor Mbah’s leadership, declaring unwavering support for his development-driven administration. The mass defection effectively dissolves long-standing factional divides within the Enugu APC and signals the emergence of what party leaders now describe as “one family” united behind the governor’s mandate.
Addressing the gathering, leaders of the collapsing structure emphasized collective resolve and continuity of purpose, assuring the governor of steadfast support. “On your mandate we shall always stand. Join hands and let’s make Enugu greater, better, and more progressive than we met it. Tomorrow is here,” the supporters declared amid thunderous cheers.
The political momentum deepened further as Governor Mbah moved swiftly to consolidate the unity, symbolically escalating reconciliation efforts by bringing together Dr. Ben Nwoye and Barr. Ugochukwu Agballah, two former political opponents. In a powerful moment that resonated across the state, the governor held the hands of both leaders, sealing what observers have termed a historic political truce anchored on peace, cooperation, and shared development goals.
Political analysts say the move not only strengthens Governor Mbah’s broad-based appeal but also redefines Enugu’s opposition dynamics, effectively neutralizing internal fractures and repositioning the APC as a cohesive force aligned with the state’s development trajectory.
This is a historic political movement. A defining moment. A political truce with far-reaching implications for Enugu State.
