Hon. Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu, daughter of former Delta State governor James Ibori and representative of Ethiope Federal Constituency in the National Assembly, has hailed her defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a turning point in her political career.
Speaking during a constituency empowerment programme where she distributed vehicles, motorcycles, sewing machines and water pumps to constituents, Ibori-Suenu accused the PDP of attempting to stifle her political ambitions.
“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 expressed gratitude to her supporters and APC leaders for their encouragement, emphasising that her decision to join the ruling party aligns with her vision for her political future and service to her constituents.
Former Deputy Senate President Senator Ovie Omo-Agege praised Ibori-Suenu’s defection, describing her as a “political bulldozer.”
“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 remarked.
