Labour Party Gains Control of Abia Assembly as PDP Member Defects to LP
In a significant political development in Abia State, Godwin Adiele, a member representing Ukwa West Constituency, defected from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to the Labour Party (LP). Adiele, a former staunch PDP member, resigned from the PDP, citing Governor Alex Otti's good governance as his reason for joining LP.
With Adiele's defection, LP now has 19 out of the 24 members in the Abia State House of Assembly, giving the party a majority. Adiele's move is seen as a boost to Governor Otti's efforts to promote good governance and development in the state.
