4 Lawmakers Lead Mass Defection From Labour Party To ADC

Published

on

Four members of the Anambra State House of Assembly, alongside numerous supporters of the Labour Party (LP) in the state, have formally defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

The lawmakers, who were known allies of LP’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, announced their decision on Saturday, marking a significant political shift in the state.

Those who left the Labour Party include the Assembly’s LP caucus leader, Hon. Jude Ifeanyi Umennajiego, as well as Hon. Fred Ezenwa, Hon. Kingsley Udemezue, and Hon. Henry Nigeria Mbachu.

Their defection was accompanied by several prominent LP figures, among them former State Secretary and Publicity Secretary, Barrister Okoli Akirika; Engineer Theo Egbe; and a former Commissioner for Women Affairs, Lady Harrieta Agbata.

Speaking during the event, Hon. Umennajiego described the move as part of a wider political realignment that would gain massive momentum across Anambra State and the entire South-East region.

According to him, the wave of defections expected to follow Peter Obi’s transition to the ADC would be extensive, reflecting strong loyalty to Obi’s leadership and political ideology.

Barrister Okoli Akirika, who convened the meeting, said some of the defectors had earlier witnessed similar movements in Enugu State after Obi’s decision to join the ADC.

He explained that their choice was straightforward, stressing that they were simply following the political direction set by their leader.

Akirika urged members to return to their wards to officially register with the ADC and help strengthen the party at the grassroots level.

He further noted that the defection represented a people-driven movement aimed at promoting good governance and preventing the takeover of the party by narrow interests.

Reading the meeting’s communique, Engineer Theo Egbe confirmed that all defectors had formally resigned from the Labour Party, both individually and collectively.

He encouraged members to complete their integration by registering with ADC ward leaders to ensure proper documentation and full participation in the party’s activities.

BREAKING: Rivers Speaker Mentions Governor Fubara’s Actual Sin

Published

on

Martins Amaewhule, Speaker of the Rivers House of Assembly, stated on Thursday, January 8, that the protracted political crisis in the state is not a feud between Governor Siminalayi Fubara and Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

According to the Speaker, “it is the governor and the constitution.”

Amaewhule criticised Fubara for actions allegedly in violation of the Nigerian Constitution, The Punch reported.

Speaking angrily, as noted by Leadership, the Speaker described Governor Fubara as “a threat to our democracy.” He insisted that alleged constitutional breaches by the governor were being overlooked by certain elders in the oil-rich state.

He said: “Siminalayi Fubara is a mistake. He is a mistake. River state has never had it this bad.

“In the entire Nigeria, Siminalayi Fubara and Professor Ngozi Odu, these are the only two people in the office at the sub-national level that are yet to present the 2026 Appropriation Bill. The entire country. I am sure if you go to the entire West African sub-region or even Africa, you will not find any sub-national government that has not presented an appropriation bill for 2026.

“Who would believe that in this 21st century, a state like River States will not have an appropriation bill either presented or passed? Nothing is holding the governor back from presenting it. He chose not to.”

Amaewhule added: “Other governors are saying how they are receiving money, how much they received, how much they have spent. Since May 29th, 2023, when Siminalayi Fubara and Ngozi Odu were sworn in, they have never, never for once issued any statement of account of Rivers state. Not once. And the governor is boasting that they are going to call us and give us order not to follow the constitution. And people are going in the media, people that we respect, elders that we respect who are supposed to call him to order. They are going to tell him that what he is doing is good.

“Rather than cautioning the governor for his infractions on the constitution, they are clapping for him. Rather than calling on the governor, they are calling on our FCT minister, who is helping Mr President in Abuja; they are making it look like it’s a problem between the FCT minister and the governor. It is not the FCT minister and the governor. It is the governor and the constitution.”

Impeachment proceedings have already been initiated against Governor Fubara as Nigerians await the outcome of the political drama in the prominent south-south state.
