A member of Enugu State House of Assembly, Mr Eze Gabriel has cited irreconcilable divisions, incessant crises and factions within Labour Party at the national level and in the state for his decision to dump the party for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Eze, who was elected on the platform of Labour Party in the 2023 general elections said this while announcing his defection during plenary on Tuesday.
The letter announcing the defection of the lawmaker representing Isi-Uzo constituency was read by the Speaker of the Enugu House of Assembly, Chief Uche Ugwu.
While expressing his sadness over his decision, Eze noted that the Labour Party, which was once a beacon of hope for progressive ideals, had regrettably become synonymous with internal strife, thereby diminishing its capacity to fulfill the aspirations of the electorate.
The lawmaker described the recent conflict between Mr Julius Abure and Sen. Nenadi Usman at the national level and the one between Chief Kingsley Ugwu and Mr Casmir Agbo in Enugu State as stark reminders of the disunity within the party.
He expressed the confidence that within PDP, he would have the supportive platform needed to continue contributing to the state’s development, even as he thanked his supporters for their understanding.
