Hon. Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu, daughter of former Delta State Governor James Ibori and representative of the Ethiope Federal Constituency in the National Assembly, has revealed the reasons behind her defection from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Speaking in Oghara, Erhiatake stated that the PDP sought to undermine her political aspirations, prompting her to leave the party. She declared that with her exit, the PDP is “dead” in her constituency and across Delta State.

She said:
“The wind and lightning that would destroy PDP is here. We will bury PDP in Ologbo River, the bridge between Delta State and Edo State. I am already at home; APC is supreme. The people in PDP wanted to kill my political aspirations, but thank goodness I have finally left.”

Erhiatake thanked her supporters and APC leaders, including Senator Ovie Omo-Agege and Hon. Halims Agoda, for their continued support, expressing confidence in her new political home.
