The daughter of the former Governor James Ibori of Delta State, Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu, has announced her decamping from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Honourable Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu is a member of the House of Representatives for the Ethiope East/Ethiope West Constituency.
Chief James Ibori’s daughter, in her resignation letter read by the Speaker of the House, Tajudeen Abbas, cited issues within the PDP leadership.
In a letter dated Thursday, December 5, and addressed to the PDP Chairman of the Ethiope West Council Area, Ibori-Suenu, particularly mentioned exclusion by the Delta State chapter of the party as one of the reasons for her resignation.
The letter, titled ‘Notice of Resignation of Hon. Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu as Member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),’ stated:
“Please be informed that by this notice I formally resign as a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with immediate effect. I surrender my attached Peoples Democratic Party [PDP] Membership Card, with membership number 0777144 in furtherance of my complete dissociation and disengagement from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).”
Ibori-Suenu explained that the exclusion of Delta State PDP by the national leadership and the crisis affecting the national leadership showed the party could not protect her interest.
