Senator Ireti Kingibe has dumped Labour Party and joined ADC Coalition ahead of her 2027 re-election bid.

 

NewsOnline Nigeria reports that the lawmaker representing the Federal Capital (FCT), Ireti Kingibe, has dumped the Labour Party (LP) for the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

 

Kingibe while addressing newsmen in Abuja said her defection was a deliberate move and would be formalised with “fanfare”.

 

She said, “I’m totally and completely committed to ADC.

“But obviously, as the senator representing the federal capital territory, don’t expect me to just take a lunch break and go and collect card. I want to do so with noise and fanfare.”

 

When asked if she was satisfied with the leadership of ADC and the coalition she’s joining, the senator said the party is still evolving

 

She answered, “It’s something that is evolving. So you cannot say while your child is still crawling that you are not happy with how he’s going to run. You wait. We are growing.”

 

Responding to concerns that her defection might cost her the senate seat based on constitutional provisions, Kingibe said the Labour Party is currently split into two factions, a situation which, she argued, legally allows her to move.

 

The lawmaker stated, “I ask you to please read the constitution. There are two factions clear of Labour Party. The perfect definition that the constitution gives for somebody to decamp without penalty.

“So you say I should stay in Labour Party. Which faction of Labour Party do you want me to stay in?
“There are two clear distinct ones. Even INEC got two sets of results and candidates, though they didn’t accept any. There’s no question of that.

 

“Even the time when we didn’t have two clear factions, did you see anybody implementing it?
“But I do follow the law. And if there were not two distinct factions of Labour Party, I would not presume to decamp, because that is unconstitutional. But they are.

 

“And this is the definition that the constitution gave why it would be okay to decamp to anywhere I wanted to go to. I just chose ADC.”

 

Kingibe was one of the several prominent Nigerian political figures spotted at the unveiling of ADC as the platform of the opposition coalition in Abuja on July 2.
