Defection: ‘PDP almost killed my ambitions’ – Ibori’s daughter
The daughter of former Delta State governor, James Ibori, and representative of Ethiope Federal Constituency at the National Assembly, Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu, has described her defection from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the All Progressives Congress, APC, as the best decision of her political career.
This is as Ibori-Suenu accused the PDP of attempting to stifle her political aspirations.
She also expressed gratitude to her supporters and APC leaders for their encouragement.
“We will bury PDP in Ologbo River, the bridge between Delta and Edo states. I am already at home – APC is supreme.
“The people in PDP wanted to kill my political aspirations, but thank God, I have finally left,” she said.
Ibori-Suenu recently defected from the PDP to the APC.
The immediate past Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege,
hailed Ibori-Suenu’s defection, describing her as a political bulldozer.
Omo-Agege expressed confidence that her move, along with the support of other APC members, would help the party secure Delta State in the 2027 elections.
“With Hon. Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu’s support, the APC is better positioned to take over Delta.
“Her energy and dedication will greatly strengthen our chances,” Omo-Agege said.
