Ogboru resigns from Labour Party...

ASABA—DELTA State governorship candidate of Labour Party, LP, in the 2015 election, Chief Great Ogboru, yesterday, resigned his membership of the party, saying he was leaving with all those that came with him from the Democratic Peoples Party, DPP, and others of like mind.

Chief Ogboru Vanguard gathered that the resignation was not unconnected with his purported desire to move to All Progressives Congress, APC and in fulfilment of the agreement he entered into with the leadership of LP in the state and at the national level to the extent that should he win the election, members of LP and DPP would form the government with him and should he fail, the party would revert to status quo.

Ogboru, in the letter of resignation dated April 26, 2016, addressed to the chairman of LP in the state, Emeka Nkwoala, said he was moving out and joining the APC “to provide a strong, formidable, reliable and credible alternative to leadership in our state, and by extension good governance. “This, of course, is part of our agreement when we moved enmass to the LP.

I have also written to you as chairman because this was our understanding with you then, that we shall revert to you, chairman, in the event of our mass exodus to a new party.

” Vanguard had reported that the LP and Accord Party were concluding plans to fuse into the APC in Delta State with Sir Richard Odibo leading the LP and Mr. Alfred Oloko leading the APC in the merger talks.
