Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu, daughter of former Delta State Governor James Ibori and current representative of the Ethiope Federal Constituency in the National Assembly, has called her defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) the best decision of her political career.

Ibori-Suenu accused the PDP of trying to hinder her political ambitions, and expressed her gratitude to her supporters and APC leaders for their encouragement.

“We will bury PDP in Ologbo River, the bridge between Delta and Edo states. I am already at home – APC is supreme,” she stated.

Reflecting on her departure from the PDP, she said, “The people in PDP wanted to kill my political aspirations, but thank God, I have finally left.”

In response, former Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege praised Ibori-Suenu’s move, describing her as a “political bulldozer.” He expressed confidence that with her support and the backing of other APC members, the party would be well-positioned to take Delta State in the 2027 elections.

“With Hon. Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu’s support, the APC is better positioned to take over Delta. Her energy and dedication will greatly strengthen our chances,” Omo-Agege added.
