‘PDP Wanted To Kill My Ambitions’ – Ibori’s Daughter Speaks On Defection

Representative of Ethiope Federal Constituency at the National Assembly, cum daughter of former Delta State Governor, James Ibori, Hon. 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.

Naija News reports that the lawmaker made this known during a constituency empowerment programme where she distributed vehicles, motorcycles, sewing machines, and water pumps.

Ibori-Suenu described the APC as supreme and accused the PDP of attempting to stifle her political aspirations.

She also expressed gratitude to supporters and APC leaders for their encouragement.

She said, “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.”

The immediate past Deputy Senate President, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, who was also at the event, praised Ibori-Suenu’s defection, describing her as a political bulldozer.

He expressed confidence that Ibori-Suenu’s move, alongside the support of other APC members, would help the party secure Delta State in the 2027 elections.

He added, “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.”
