Immediate past deputy Senate president, Ovie Omo-Agege and a member of the House of Representatives, Erhiataka Suenu-Ibori, have vowed to sack the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta State and deliver the state to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
They stated this at the weekend after Suenu-Ibori’s defection from the PDP to the APC, assuring that they have the capacity to do that especially when the legislator “is coming with light and wind and as a daughter of a lion.”
Suenu-Ibori, who represents Ethiope West and East federal constituency, disclosed that she has been in PDP but her spirit was in the APC, assuring that the lightning and wind that are coming would destroy the PDP.
“PDP is dead and buried in Delta State. We are here to show them that APC is completed and I am home now. They tried to oppose me but I am the daughter of the lion. Nobody can oppose me, nobody can push me down, nobody can hold me.
“The whole of Ethiope federal constituency is now APC. I can guarantee you that by next year, you will see the wave. my people told me that the day I cross to APC, they’ll move with me and I thank you all for standing for me.
“Our leader, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, now have the people that will deliver Ethiope federal constituency to APC. You can go to sleep; we are capable. We will not disappoint you and we will continue to make you proud,” she said.
Ovie Omo-Agege also hinted that he was thrilled to welcome Suenu-Ibori for her visionary decision to join the great party and her supporters to the APC family.
While describing Suenu-Ibori as a bulldozer and goal getter, he commended her for taking a bold step to dump the PDP especially when he said there are many who are switching parties to join APC.
“I have had the pleasure of knowing Hon Erhiatake Ibori for many years and I’m honoured to have played a role in her entry into politics in 2015.
“Today, I proudly declare her one of the most trusted loyalists in the House of Representatives, committed to advancing the president’s Renewed Hope Agenda in the National Assembly.
“Delta State APC is stronger today with Erhiatake on board, and we look forward to welcoming more members to our progressive family.
“We also pay tribute to our leader, Governor James Ibori’s enduring legacy. His leadership and service to Delta State and the nation have left an indelible mark. Despite the efforts of subsequent governors, his foundation remains unbeaten. We thank him for giving us Erhiatake to carry the torch forward,” he said.
Others who left the PDP to join the APC are the former managing director of DESOPADEC, Chief Williams Makinde; former PDP national treasurer and immediate past commissioner, Hon Solomon Golley and many others.
Earlier, Suenu-Ibori had given out cars, tricycles, motorcycles, sewing machines and cash gifts in support to people in her constituency.
