Rt. Hon. Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu, the house of reps member representing Ethiope Federal Constituency in Delta State, has boldly declared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is no longer relevant in her constituency.
The declaration was made during an empowerment event, where Ibori-Suenu distributed various items, including vehicles, motorcycles, sewing machines, and water pumps, to her constituents.
During the event, Ibori-Suenu revealed that her political allegiance had always been with the All Progressives Congress (APC), even when she was a member of the PDP.
She expressed her excitement about officially joining the APC, calling it the “supreme party.”
“The storm that will bring an end to PDP has arrived. We will bury the PDP in the Ologbo River, the bridge between Delta and Edo States,” she proclaimed.
Ibori-Suenu also accused the PDP of hindering her political growth and stated that her decision to join the APC was long overdue.
She thanked the APC leadership for their support and pledged to work diligently to achieve the party’s objectives in Ethiope Federal Constituency.
“We are capable, and we will deliver for Ethiope Federal Constituency. To the APC leadership, I sincerely appreciate your support. May God bless you all, including my leaders, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege and Hon. Halims Agoda,” she said.
The event also witnessed the defection of several PDP members to the APC.
Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, the APC governorship candidate and former Deputy Senate President, congratulated Ibori-Suenu for her defection, describing her as a “political bulldozer.”
He expressed confidence that her joining the APC, alongside other prominent defections, would strengthen the party’s prospects in the 2027 elections.
“With leaders like these joining our ranks, there’s no doubt we will take over Delta State in 2027,” Omo-Agege said.
He also acknowledged the influence of former Delta State Governor, Chief James Ibori, and expressed hope that Ibori would eventually join the APC as well.
