A former governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, Reagan Ufomba has officially resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and moved to the Labour Party, LP.
Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, receiving Ufomba and his supporters into LP on Wednesday at Okpuala Ngwa, said the defection is a major boost to the Labour Party and to the development of the State.
The Governor described the Labour Party as a party that was based on equity, inclusiveness and equal opportunities for all members and assured the new entrants that they would not be subjected to discrimination by old LP members.
The interesting thing about the Labour Party is that there is no discrimination.
“We have no old and new members,” Governor Otti said.
The Governor lauded Chief Ufomba for his dedication to the development of the State and appreciated his support for the administration’s reform agenda.
Earlier in his speech, Ufomba had also pledged his commitment to contributing to the growth and progress of Abia State under the platform of Labour Party.
He thanked Alex Otti and the leadership of the LP in Abia State for receiving him into their fold.
