Senator Ireti Kingibe Defends Defection from Labour Party, Dismisses Nyesom Wike's Influence

Senator Ireti Kingibe refutes allegations that her move from the Labour Party to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in the FCT was due to political pressure from Minister Nyesom Wike. Kingibe asserts that Wike does not hold sway over election outcomes in the FCT and poses no threat to her political future.

She highlights the deep factionalism within the Labour Party, making it an unviable opposition platform. Kingibe emphasizes her loyalty to opposition politics and mentions Peter Obi as a potential presidential candidate for the ADC in 2027.
