A member of the Labour Party in the House of Representatives, Hon. George Ibezimako Ozodinobi(Anambra), during plenary today, berated his colleagues and party members for announcing their defection to the APC, describing them as people without ideology
The defectors, Chinedu Okere (Owerri municipal/owerri north/Owerri west constituency), Mathew Donatus (Kaura federal constituency of Kaduna), Akiba Bassey (Calabar municipal/Odukpani constituency), and Esosa Iyawe (Oredo federal constituency of Edo cited division in the party as reason for their defection.
Reacting, Ozodinobi denied claims of division in the party, stating that the LP is United.
He said,“When Jesus was carrying the cross to the Calvary, the woman, Veronica, was weeping. And he looked back and said, women of Israel, don’t weep for me, weep for yourself.
“I am telling those who have defected that they will continue weeping for themselves because where you have crossed over to, you don’t have a future
“My party remains one. We don’t have any crisis in my party”, describing the defectors as those without ideology
“People who don’t have ideology in anything they do, they don’t need to be trusted in any form, whether they are in APC or PDP. I stand here today to tell them that this rotten carrot that is dangled before them to defect to the party that has brought hunger to this country, we are waiting and at the end of the day and as the party of the people, by 2027, we will open our arms again to give them their rightful ticket.
“I am telling those who have defected that they will continue weeping for themselves because where you have crossed over to, you don’t have a future.”
