Labour Party House Of Reps Member, Chimaobi Atu Dumps Party For APC by blamingthedevil(op): 1:36pm On Jun 26, 2025
Hon. Chimaobi Sam Atu, a member representing Enugu North and South in the House of Representatives, defected from the LP to the APC today in the Green Chamber.



Lawmaker, Chimaobi Sam Atu, representing Enugu North and South in the House of Representatives, has defected from the Labour Party, LP, to the the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Atu’s defection was contained in a letter sent to the House of Representatives on Thursday.

Speaker Tajudeen Abbas announced the decision of the lawmaker at plenary today.

“Honourable colleagues, it’s my pleasure and privilege to inform you that our dear brother and colleague, Hon. Chimaobi Sam Atu, member representing Enugu North and South, today has sent a letter and the letter is in respect of the defection from Labour Party to the All Progressives Congress,” Abbas said.

Earlier this week, two members of the House of Representatives dumped their opposition parties for the APC.

Peter Akpanke of Obanliku/Obudu/Bekwara Federal Constituency in Cross River State, left the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the APC while Paul Nnamchi from Enugu East/Isi-Uzo Federal Constituency in Enugu State also dumped the Labour Party for the ruling APC.

I pray Nigerians show these fools decamping up and down to this failed party. In fact, with the look of things, we need revolution in this country. That's the only thing that can change this country. Without revolution, nothing will ever work. The political class are only here to loot and squander. Nobody is ready for the masses.

It is kind of sad...the fact is, most nigerian politicans are not ready to play oppositon politics, but rather the politics that fills their stomach...like this one.

But let's be honest, even if she defected to PDP, or any other party, it is not a move grounded in ideology, it is a strategic move to show the ruling party that they have the ability to win elections, and eventually to get an invite.

The problem again is, Nigeria is a poor country. We did not experience the stages between fedualism and democratic rule the Europeans have, so as a result, people treat politicans like the peasants treated their fedual lord...expect to be taken care of and protected. And if defecting accomplishes that goal...okay.

Like I have quoted and said...like someone said once...there are two kinds of politicans in nigeria...those in the ruling party and those trying to get there. Only rich people ike tinubu and buhari, people with cultic following like Buhari, people who are mavericks like Sowore, can afford to play oppostion politics...and even tinubu at one point hobnobbed with PDP in 2011 for survial sake.

Obi lack leadership skill. His people keep blaming Tinubu. So they don't longer believe him again. He is busy looking for coalition to endorse him cos he knows the propaganda of 2023 is gone forever. At the end, he will humble himself and accept vice to Atiku who he call structure of criminality and vowed to dismantle when elected. His clowns will tell you that is a great move that after four years he will succeed Atiku.

Hehehe...no.

They defect for the same reason people defected to PDP...to be close to where the national loaf is being divided.

Not doing so can be disastrous to one's political health.

Obi self has no political conviction except political desperation. He's no different. If APC should promise him their presidential ticket today, Obi will jump at it.
He was already running from one party to another before it became popular.

Obi was not the LP leader, he was another member, despite his prominence.

The problem was that LP leadership did not know how to handle success.

Also, most of the politicans joining LP were doing so to get into power. (Obi included, ironically)

Also, just as a reminder, keeping fuel at 197 naira per liter, and one dollar below N400 naira for decades contributed to our debt being so large that as at August 2022...not 2023, it was eating 90% of government revenue, and we was having difficulty paying forex obligations.

Tinubu is part of the problem, but the fact is, if you want to have a strong currency without having an economy that is based on exporting stuff you make for the world, you will end up with the same problem

AM sure you want tinubu out. So do i, but if your idea of a new government and good economy is another round of subsides that would be paid for with money we don't have, like everyone including tinubu did since 1960....then your side is not better than tinubu.

Manufactured goods and services.

Labour Party was not popular, not even wwll known when Peter Obi joined Labour Party.
Desperate for power is Bola Tinubu of snatch it, grab it and run with it.
