In Enugu State, three important members of the Labour Party have switched to the Peoples Democratic Party.

Hon. Dennis Agbo, a representative for the Igbo-Eze North/Udenu Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, was the first to desert.

He gave several explanations for his declaration on Wednesday.

The first-time representative for the Nsukka/Igbo-Eze South Federal Constituency, Hon. Chidi Obetta, also decamped today, Thursday.

In the Enugu State House of Assembly, Hon. Malachi Okey Onyechi, who represents the Nsukka West State Constituency, also declared his departure from LP.

Governor Peter Mbah’s media aide, Hon. Dan Nwomeh, attested to this.

According to him, “Happening Now at the State PDP Headquarters: Three National and State Assembly Members rejoining PDP from LP.

“They are Rt. Hon. Dennis Agbo, representing Igboeze/Udenu Federal Constituency, Hon. Mark Chidi Obetta, Igboeze South/Nsukka Federal Constituency, and Hon. Malachi Okey Onyechi, Nsukka West State Constituency.”

Agbo, a two-term federal legislator, had made the choice in response to the overwhelming calls from his constituents, the ongoing internal conflict within the Labour Party, and the outstanding performance of Dr. Peter Mbah, the governor of Enugu State.

“The performance of the Governor of Enugu State, His Excellency Dr. Peter Ndubisi Mbah since inauguration has been nothing short of outstanding.

“I have had the privilege of supporting and contributing to the administration’s commitment to moving the state forward,” he said.

As part of his justification, Agbo also mentioned the LP’s division and the necessity of politically aligning with the state administration for the benefit of his voters.

Agbo said, “In deference to the popular wishes of the highly enterprising people of Igbo-Eze North/Udenu Federal Constituency, I have decided to resign my membership of the Labour Party and return to the People’s Democratic Party.”

He underlined that having the same political stance as Governor Mbah will foster the collaboration required for the state and the constituency to advance.
