The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has dissolved the Enugu State Executive Committee led by Chief Ugochukwu Agballa, following months of internal crisis and legal disputes.
The decision, confirmed by reliable party sources, comes amid heightened speculation that Governor Peter Mbah is set to defect to the APCAPC, a move expected to significantly alter Enugu’s political landscape.
The Enugu APC has been deeply divided under Agballa’s leadership, with multiple petitions, court orders, and factional clashes paralyzing the party’s activities.
Notably, a 2024 High Court ruling restrained Agballa from parading himself as chairman, but party leadership under former chairman Abdullahi Ganduje reportedly ignored the ruling and internal complaints.
This latest move by the NWC is widely seen as an effort to pave the way for a political reset in Enugu, as the APC prepares for what sources describe as a “major realignment” in the state.
A formal announcement of the dissolution and Governor Mbah’s possible defection is expected on Thursday this week.
