Erhriatake Ibori-Suenu, daughter of former Delta State Governor, James Ibori, has officially defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Her defection was announced in a letter read on the floor of the House of Representatives on Thursday. Ibori-Suenu represents Ethiope Federal Constituency in the House.
James Ibori, who governed Delta State from 1999 to 2007, is widely regarded as a significant influence within the PDP’s political structure in the state.
This move comes amid a wave of defections within the minority caucus in the National Assembly. Earlier, four Labour Party lawmakers also defected to the ruling APC.
