Hon. Gabriel Eze, the member representing Isi-Uzo Constituency in the Enugu State House of Assembly has officially announced his defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC), aligning with Governor Peter Mbah’s recent move to the ruling party at the centre.
The lawmaker, who was elected on the platform of the labour Party, described his decision as a bold but necessary step taken in the interest of his constituents and the future of Enugu State.
In a statement made available to DAILY GAZETTE on Saturday, the Isi-Uzo representative said the time had come to put political sentiment aside and align with a national movement that would guarantee greater development for the people of Enugu East and beyond.
“This is not about personal gain or political ambition. It is about aligning with a progressive vision for our state and our people. It is about ensuring that Isi-Uzo is not left behind as Nigeria moves forward. The decision was not easy, but it is the right one,” he said.
He noted that under Governor Mbah, Enugu State has witnessed new energy in governance and his move to the APC is a clear readiness to collaborate with the federal government to attract more development to the state.
“His Excellency’s move is strategic. We can no longer operate in isolation. If we must bring federal presence, investments and infrastructure to our state, we must build bridges. I’m proud to walk that path with him.”
The lawmaker reaffirmed his commitment to serving the people of Isi-Uzo with renewed energy and assured them that his decision would translate into more opportunities and greater attention from Abuja
