Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu, daughter of former Delta State Governor James Ibori and representative of Ethiope Federal Constituency in the National Assembly, has described her defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a turning point in her political journey.
Ibori-Suenu alleged that the PDP sought to stifle her political aspirations, expressing gratitude to her supporters and APC leaders for their encouragement and support.
“We will bury the PDP in Ologbo River, the bridge between Delta and Edo states. I feel at home here—APC is supreme,” she said. “The PDP tried to kill my political dreams, but thank God, I’ve finally moved on.”
Former Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege hailed Ibori-Suenu’s decision, referring to her as a “political bulldozer.” He expressed optimism that her defection, alongside the contributions of other APC members, would bolster the party’s strength in Delta State ahead of the 2027 elections.
“With Hon. Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu on our side, the APC is in a stronger position to take over Delta. Her energy and commitment will significantly enhance our prospects,” Omo-Agege stated.
