The Labour Party, LP, in Ebonyi State has threatened to drag Ifeanyi Ogba to court over his defection to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC. Ogba won the 2023 general election on the platform of the Labour Party to represent Onicha East state constituency in the Ebonyi State House of Assembly.
The publicity secretary of the Ebonyi State Labour Party , Chief Innocent Igiri, disclosed this during the enlarged stakeholders meeting of the party held at the San Diego Hotel in Abakaliki on Thursday. He stated that the platform on which the lawmaker contested the election belongs to the Labour Party and threatened they would reclaim their mandate.
According to him: “The local government election in Ebonyi State is one group activity and we are encouraging the Attorney General of the Federation to continue what he is doing to get governors to implement various laws that give local government autonomy and also to make it a law that the Independent National Electoral Commission should be conducting local government elections. That is when we will be proud to participate in local government elections.
