The member representing Ethiope Federal Constituency at the House of Representatives, Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu, has justified her defection from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) describing it as the best decision for her political future.
The lawmaker, who is the daughter of former Governor James Ibori, said the PDP leaders had sought to undermine her political aspirations, leading to her departure.
She declared that with her exit, the PDP should consider itself “dead” in the Ethiope Federal Constituency and across Delta State.
She made these remarks during an empowerment program in Oghara, Ethiope West LGA, where she distributed various items to her constituents, including vehicles, motorcycles, sewing machines, and water pumps.
“The wind and lightning that would destroy PDP is here,” she said. “We will bury PDP in Ologbo River, the Bridge between Delta State and Edo State. I am already at home; APC is supreme. The people in PDP wanted to kill my political aspirations but thanked goodness that I have finally left.
“l thank all of you for your support, God will continue to bless all of you, my leader, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, God will bless you, my leader, Hon. Halims Agoda, God will bless you, all my leaders, God bless you, God will bless all of you”.
The immediate past Deputy Senate President, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege expressed joy that Ibori’s daughter had finally joined the APC, adding, “She is a political bulldozer and with her support and others APC would be able to take over Delta State come 2027 elections.
