Titus Odo, who served as the publicity secretary for the Labour Party in Enugu, has defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), alongside Emeka Mamah, the former commissioner for chieftaincy affairs in the state. Mamah, who also coordinated Peter Obi’s presidential campaign in Enugu during the 2023 elections, joined the PDP after briefly aligning with the Labour Party following the 2023 general elections.
Both Odo and Mamah were received by the state PDP chairman, Martin Chukwunwike, at the party’s state secretariat, where Chukwunwike expressed his excitement over their decision to return to the party. He emphasized that Governor Peter Mbah had specifically tasked the PDP with the responsibility of bringing back members who had left.
“We are thrilled to have them back,” Chukwunwike remarked. “With God’s guidance, our party is poised for victory in 2027. The road to success is already clear.”
The state chairman also called for party unity as the PDP prepares for the upcoming 2027 elections.
Odo, speaking after his return to the party, explained that his decision was influenced by the significant developmental strides made by Governor Mbah. “I’m excited to be home once again. Governor Mbah’s progress in transforming the state played a crucial role in my decision to rejoin the PDP,” Odo said. He also mentioned the defection of Dr. Chijioke Edeoga, the Labour Party’s 2023 governorship candidate in Enugu, as another factor in his return.
Mamah expressed gratitude for the warm reception from the PDP leadership in Igboeze North, the Enugu North senatorial zone, and the state chapter of the party. He also praised Governor Mbah for his inclusive approach to politics, stating, “I am deeply impressed by the governor’s performance, and I’m excited to support his administration’s vision for the future.”
