Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu, the representative for Ethiope Federal Constituency in the National Assembly, has explained her reasons for defecting from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress.

She described this move as the best decision for her political ambitions.

The daughter of former Governor James Ibori, Ibori-Suenu claims that the PDP had sought to undermine her political aspirations, forcing her to leave the party.

She boldly declared that with her exit, the PDP should consider itself “dead” in the Ethiope Federal Constituency and across Delta State.

She said this 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.

She stated, "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 thanked goodness that I have finally left.

"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, God will bless all of you.”

The immediate past Deputy Senate President, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege expressed her excitement that Ibori’s daughter had finally joined the APC.

“She is a political bulldozer and with her support and others, APC will be able to take over Delta State come the 2027 elections,” she said.
