Hon. Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu, the representative for Ethiope Federal Constituency in the National Assembly, has called her defection from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) the best decision for her political future.
Ibori-Suenu, the daughter of former Governor James Ibori, explained that the PDP had attempted to undermine her political ambitions, which ultimately led to her departure.
In a bold statement, she declared that the PDP should now consider itself “dead” in Ethiope Federal Constituency and across Delta State. Her comments were made during an empowerment program in Oghara, Ethiope West Local Government Area, where she distributed various items to her constituents, including vehicles, motorcycles, sewing machines, and water pumps.
She said, “The wind and lightning that would destroy PDP is here. 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 thank goodness I have finally left.”
Expressing gratitude to her supporters, Ibori-Suenu continued, “I 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.”
The immediate past Deputy Senate President, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, expressed his delight at Ibori-Suenu’s defection, describing her as a “political bulldozer.” He added that with her support, along with others, the APC would be poised to take over Delta State in the 2027 elections.
Ibori-Suenu’s departure marks a significant shift in the political landscape of Delta State, further strengthening the APC’s presence in the region as the party prepares for the upcoming electoral battle.
