In a significant show of support from the Nigerian diaspora, Ambassador Prince Magboh—renowned Enugu-born industrialist, President of the Nigerian Community in Turkey, and CEO of Afaseh Group Company—has thrown his full weight behind Governor Peter Mbah’s recent defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Describing the move as a “strategic masterstroke,” Ambassador Magboh commended Governor Mbah for what he called a visionary and courageous decision that positions Enugu State for accelerated growth and national relevance.
Speaking to journalists in Istanbul, the influential diaspora leader praised Mbah’s alignment with the ruling party at the federal level, emphasizing that it opens the door for stronger federal partnerships, increased investment, and meaningful developmental impact in the state.
“Governor Mbah’s defection is not just a political move—it’s a calculated repositioning to unlock long-term socio-economic growth for Enugu State,” said Magboh. “As a proud son of Enugu and a leader in the diaspora, I fully support this bold step and urge all progressives to stand behind the governor’s vision for a greater Enugu.”
Ambassador Magboh also highlighted the readiness of the Nigerian diaspora—particularly in Turkey and across Europe—to contribute expertise, funding, and international networks to support the state’s development agenda.
“The diaspora is prepared to collaborate with Governor Mbah’s administration to drive transformational projects. With Enugu now better aligned with the center, the opportunities for meaningful progress are limitless.”
The endorsement adds to a growing chorus of local and international support trailing the governor’s political realignment. Political analysts view the wave of endorsements as a strong signal of confidence in Mbah’s leadership and a green light for deeper federal integration, infrastructure investment, and inclusive governance across the state.
