Anambra South: Amamgbo Dumps Labour Party, Joins ADC,urges Others To Follow Suit by Conciousnigeria(op): 1:37pm On Jul 16, 2025
A frontline senatorial aspirant for Anambra South District, Sir Barr. Donald Chidi Amamgbo, has formally announced his resignation from the Labour Party, citing deep-seated internal crises and a lack of credible leadership within the party’s ranks.

Amamgbo, popularly known as Okosisii Ihiala, disclosed this in a statement made available to journalists on Wednesday, where he called on his supporters and the people of Anambra South to rally behind the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as a more stable and people-focused alternative.

According to him, his decision to quit the Labour Party, effective July 4, 2025, follows “deep personal reflection and extensive consultations” with family, political associates, and supporters.

He described the Labour Party as having “irreconcilable structural failures, internal divisions, and a leadership vacuum” that have hindered the pursuit of credible representation and grassroots development.

“The Labour Party, which once held so much promise, has sadly become entangled in endless legal battles and factional struggles that have eroded public trust and crippled its ability to offer meaningful direction,” Amamgbo said.


The Billionaire enterpreanuer stressed that his political ambition remains anchored on providing effective, visionary, and people-centered leadership for constituents across Ihiala, Nnewi, Aguata, Orumba, Ekwusigo, and other communities within the senatorial zone.

Amamgbo further noted that his new political home, the ADC, represents stability, equity, and innovation, describing it as “a platform where the voice of the people can truly be amplified.”

He urged his supporters including youth groups, women leaders, community stakeholders, traders, farmers, artisans, students, and entrepreneurs to join him in what he described as a collective movement for genuine, inclusive, and sustainable change.

“This movement is not about party labels. It is about you, the people: the traders in Nnewi, the farmers in Orumba, the artisans in Ihiala, the students in Uli, the elders in Osumenyi, the young mothers in Oko every soul that desires meaningful progress,” he said.


Amamgbo also highlighted what he called a symbolic twist: “In what seems like a coincidence, Amamgbo Donald Chidi (ADC) is now with the African Democratic Congress (ADC) a stunning coincidence from ADC to ADC.”

Reaffirming his commitment to “prosperity, justice, and impactful representation,” he called on the electorate to support the ADC and work together towards what he described as a new era of hope for Anambra South.

“Let the new chapter begin. Let the torch of hope burn brighter. Let Anambra South rise,” Amamgbo declared.

To get Peter Obi elected as party flagbearer, you have to join ADC.

PO has a job to do here. Educate Obidients about the delegate or flagbearer election/selection process. When it starts, how it will happen, who qualifies to be a delegate, and all that. He needs to go state by state and get people mobilized and informed.

I have written here about the Republican and Democratic parties in the US elect their delegates: https://www.nairaland.com/8464017/what-like-how-us-chooses

ADC now officially belongs to the mikano man from Cameroon

LP singlehandedly destroy their party by been too greedy to eat tinubu money...this ADC will certainly win 2027 elections, If they present a credible candidate and if INEC decide to be impartial to any party and I doubt it though

Abure specifically. PO brought 6 million to him, his job was to nurture that relationship and grow it

I will support any good move that will kick out the drug baron and certificate forger from the corridor of power. I don't hate him as a person, but I hate his ways of life.

Stop counting your chickens, an aspirant join a party and you are jubilating, someone that can't come 3rd in an election.
But if a sitting governor join the other, you will say Nigerians are the ones to decide.

The first test for the ADC is the next Anambra election
The whole world will see the emptiness of the so called coalition.

Let’s not kid ourselves—this so-called coalition is just a desperate ploy to resurrect Atiku’s never-ending presidential ambition. Obi? He’s just the latest pawn in a tired political chess game.
The serial election loser, Atiku and the professional party hopper, Obi, have found themselves in a political cul-de-sac, spinning in circles. Whether they run together or apart, one thing is certain—they’re destined to lose, again.

This ADC may just help the reelection of Tinubu. Its formation has emasculated pdp and Lp. And if Atiku gets the ticket as projected, obi will go into another party to contest thereby further dismantling the opposition force. Atiku will destroy the coalition with his desperation. SMH

He will lobby to be vice to Atiku. Obi cannot win a Presidential election on his own.

Peter Obi will never be vice to Atiku. He'll lose almost all his supporters. He knows this. He must run for president.
