Famous Labour Party Activist Dumps party for APC

February 24, 2024 Joshua Samuel

A popular member Ambassador Obinna Ukor of the Labour Party who is known for the obedient movement in the southeast states has left the party to join the All Progressive Congress party, APC in Ebonyi state.

The Ambassador revealed that he changed parties because of the good works of the Governor, Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru who has shown the capacity to his people beyond the affairs of politics.

This event happened on Friday night at the state house of the party in Abakaliki, which is the capital of Ebonyi.

“Today is a faithful day in my political history because I was once a member of the Labour Party, LP, and also the obedient movement. When you talk about the obedient movement, you are talking about us here.

“When you look around Ebonyi State, you will discover that everywhere is peaceful, unlike before. I’m here today to also call on my colleagues in the Diaspora to join hands with our governor to build our state because Ebonyi belongs to us all.” He said.

Fred Ukor, Obinna Ukor’s cousin, also joined the APC and praised Governor Nwifuru-led administration in Ebonyi state for its youth development programs, which have improved the lives of street hawkers and menial workers.

“We were all based abroad, and when we came back to Nigeria, we decided to join the Labor Party, but in the process, we discovered that the Labor Party is not doing well, but we have seen the good works of Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru.

“The youth empowerment and assistance of those hawkers has brought good names to our state. Before now, each time we came back to Nigeria, we saw a lot of Ebonyians in Lagos floating the streets, but since Governor Nwifuru came, things have changed, and that’s why we are here to join hands with him to build our state.” He said.

While greeting the decampees, APC state chairman Chief Stanley Okoro Emegha praised the two for their active engagement in the 2023 general elections, saying that their efforts resulted in a Southeast presidential candidate of Igbo descent, which could not have been realized.

“During the days of the Obedient Movement, I was relating to both of you. there is one music that the Igbos have danced very well, but we didn’t let it enter our brains; we managed it.

“As you people were vibrating to give us relevance, we knew that there was no way it could have been actualized; our problem has always been not coming together, but I thank God today for people like our governor, a young and vibrant man who is doing everything to ensure that we get to the right way of doing things.

He urged them to give the same measure of commitment they used during the obedient movement to support the Ebonyi state governor in the development of the state.

“Now that you are seeing his actions, it is a good time for all of us to come together as vibrant brains, to give him support.” He added.
