Labour Party Not Behind Defections From PDP – Abia Lawmaker

The lawmaker representing the Ohafia South state constituency, Hon. Kalu Mba, has explained that the defections from the opposition parties in the state are not a coup plotted by the ruling Labour Party (LP).

He disclosed this in an exclusive interview with THE WHISTLER on Wednesday, as the latest series of defections in the state have left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) confused.

“I want to categorically state that the defections in Abia State are not a result of a coup or any orchestrated plan by the Labour Party to undermine opposition parties.

Rather, it’s a reflection of our party’s effective governance and the people’s desire for a better future,” he said.

PDP Already Dead In Abia

In a stunning revelation, Hon. Kalu mocked his former party, saying the PDP is already dead. “I saw an obituary some days ago where they said PDP is dead and is to be buried soon. I can’t remember the date, but I know it’s dead already. And the corpse is already in the mortuary.”

This candid statement has sparked widespread debate about the fate of the PDP in Abia State.

Labour Party’s Winning Formula

When asked about the possibility of the governor switching parties, Hon. Kalu dismissed the speculation, saying, “Do you change a winning team? You don’t!!.

“The Labour Party is a winning team. And our governor is performing.” This statement underscores the Labour Party’s confidence in its leadership and governance.

More Defections Imminent

In a bombshell, Hon. Kalu revealed that more PDP lawmakers are set to join the Labour Party, saying, “More will come, I’m seeing a situation where we’ll have at least 19 to 20 Labour Party House members.”

This development has sent shockwaves through the state’s political circles, with many wondering if the PDP can recover from this latest blow.

THE WHISTLER also reports that the Labour Party is now the dominant party in the arms of government and is showing no signs of waning.
