I didn’t see Gov Mbah’s defection coming – Bode George

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bode George, has expressed shock over the defection of Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

George spoke on Tuesday while responding to questions in an interview on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television.

He stated that he never saw Governor Mbah’s defection coming despite several interventions by party elders.

“I never saw it at any time. In fact, when Anyanwu was brought back as secretary to complete his assignment, he asked his people not to attend meetings,” he said.

DAILY POST reports that Governor Mbah on Tuesday officially announced his departure from the PDP.

George wished Mbah well, but insisted that the PDP remained strong despite recent defections.
