Reagan Ufomba, who previously contested for the governorship position under the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), has made a political shift by leaving the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to join the Labour Party (LP).
The move was formalized on Wednesday at Okpuala Ngwa, where Abia State Governor Alex Otti welcomed Ufomba and his supporters. Otti emphasized that this development significantly strengthens the Labour Party and contributes to the state’s progress.
Governor Otti highlighted the Labour Party’s foundation of fairness, inclusivity, and equal opportunities, assuring new members that they will not face any form of discrimination from existing party members. He stated, “The Labour Party does not discriminate between old and new members.”
Applauding Ufomba’s dedication to Abia’s growth, Otti noted his backing of the administration’s reform initiatives. In response, Ufomba expressed his commitment to advancing Abia State’s development through the Labour Party platform and thanked Governor Otti and the party’s leadership for welcoming him.
