Recall that Okolie defeated then House minority leader, Ndudi Elumelu. He was subsequently sacked by the tribunal but returned elected by the Appeal Court.

A member of the House of Representatives from Delta State, Mr Ngozi Okolie, has dumped the Labour Party for the All Progressives Congress.

Okolie, the member representing Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency, defeated Ndudi Elumelu of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2023 general elections.

Addressing journalists on Friday in Asaba, the Delta State capital, the lawmaker cited unresolved internal crises within the LP as his reason for leaving the party.

He said, “A lot of people are resigning from their party and moving to APC and I, today, decided to resign from the Labour Party. I am no longer a member of the Labour Party.

“I am moving to the APC and you know the traditional rulers in Delta have endorsed the president. The state governor has moved to the APC. The PDP has moved to the APC but I think it would be to the advantage of my constituency to actually join them there too.

“To be honest, I think that the Labour Party for now is very disorganised, we don’t have any head way, no directions and the lingering problem that is actually drawing us back. So, staying in party that is not organised would actually not make me progress in the National Assembly.

“So, I felt that if I resign from the Labour Party, seek another party that will help me at least attract projects to my community and constituency. So best for me instead of waiting for the Labour Party’s problem to be solved which is unending.

“I have discussed with traditional rulers, discussed with some people in my constituency, of course, I couldn’t reach out to everybody and that is the sense of addressing you because I know you can reach out to alot of more people.”

Speaking further, the lawmaker said, “I have reached out to the party, some are for it, some are against it but there comes a time that you really have to weigh the options that are available to you and just make the decision you think is right at that point.”

The lawmaker asserted that two years remaining in his tenure would be best in joining the APC for the interest of his constituency, noting that he had consulted governor Sheriff Oborevwori before taking the decision.

PDP and LP are not party of failure right 👍

Special purpose vehicle. All these guys just used LP to win tickets and seats, but they are APC and PDP at heart.

Same thing the obidient influencers are doing online. Tell their online obidients that APC is after their lives, but same people are romancing APC offline. You will see them struggling to snap pictures and shake hands with APC politicians offline. They are all hustlers.

Meanwhile, just this morning, Peter obi is still grandstanding that he will run on Labour Party platform.

One Party State...!

Every wise person saw these defections coming since 2023.

Continue fighting for Nigerian politicians... People wey no rate una in any way.

Peter Obi is actually a slow weakling.

He's way weaker than Jonathan.

People should by know understand how 2027 will go.

Usually, the trend going into an election gives a clue. In 2015, the trend of defection is away from the ruling party and Jonathan lost the election.

In 2027, the trend of defection is towards the ruling party, it will be an easy ride for BAT even if Atiku pick Obi as his deputy.

He is playing with mvmv obidients. A good leader will stay and fix the party

What's the point in fixing LP now? LP is far too gone... starting from the time of Apapa. LP has served its purpose . Obi gave it and its leaders life...but success was too much for them to handle. Hence the internal party wrangling. Moreover, this is not a country where principled men rule, where meritocracy and hardwork pays. Corruption rules here friend.

Peter Obi is the next person to join APC

Omor this party defection stuff don tired me to read

INEC chairman Mahmood has detected to APC since, but his was not publicised

They assume that former APC aspirants will simply endorse them without facing any primary challenges. This is a critical error; making such a miscalculation could very well jeopardize their political careers with one wrong move.

Do men bear Ngozi?

😃 😀 😄 😁 🤣 😂 😃 😀 😄 😁 HAPPINESS IS FREE THREAD

If not for Peter Obi and the Obidient movement of 2023, who would have voted you or Labour Party.

None of the LP members in the Senate, House of reps, state house of assemblies or even Governor Otti would have been elected if not for the “Vote from top to bottom” influenced by Peter Obi and the Obidient movement.
