2027: We’ll bury PDP - Ibori vows after joining APC

The daughter of James Ibori, a former governor of Delta State, Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu, has again opened up about leaving the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Erhiatake, a lawmaker of House of Representatives said she left the party because it nearly claimed her life.

She dumped the PDP for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) alongside other lawmakers in the past week.

Speaking at a constituency empowerment programme where she distributed vehicles, motorcycles, sewing machines, and water pumps, Erhiatake said leaving PDP was the best decision of her life.

Accusing her former party of allegedly attempting to stiffle her political career, Erhiatake said she is grateful she finally left the party.

“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.

She further described the former deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege, as a “political bulldozer”.
