A former governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, Reagan Ufomba has officially resigned his membership of 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 boost to the Labour Party and to the development of the State.
The Governor described the Labour Party as one 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 don’t have old and new members,” Governor Otti said
The Governor commended Chief Ufomba for his commitment to the development of the State and acknowledged his support for the administration’s reform agenda.
Earlier in his speech, Ufomba pledged his commitment to contributing to the growth and progress of Abia State under the platform of Labour Party.
He acknowledged Alex Otti and the LP leadership in Abia State for accepting him into their fold.
