The Member, representing Ado/ Okpokwu/ Ogbadibo Federal Constituency in Benue State, Philip Agbese, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Agbese, who is currently the deputy spokesperson of the
House of Representatives, announced on Tuesday that he has defected to the
Labour Party.
In a statement he posted on his official Facebook page,
Agbese said he is “answering a higher call to serve my people with sincerity,
humility, and commitment” through the Labour Party.
The lawmaker said he has been “warmly received by my
esteemed colleagues in the House of Representatives who are members of the
party from across the country into the LP, where Papa, Mama and Pikin dey
house.
“Guided by the exemplary leadership mantra of our
distinguished National Chairman, Her Excellency, Senator Nenadi Usman, I feel
honoured to be a member of such a modest assembly of patriots”.
The lawmaker admitted that “being the highest political
office holder of the party from Benue State, I perfectly understand the task of
building and re-energising the party for victory across the board.
“Therefore, our membership will be anchored on
inclusiveness, mutual respect, and the recognition that every member — both old
and new — has a vital role to play in building a stronger and more united
party”.
