Senator Ireti Kingibe, representing the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has announced her intention to officially defect from the Labour Party (LP) to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), alongside other senators.
She made the revelation on Monday during an appearance as a guest on Arise News Prime Time, where she discussed the ongoing friction between her and the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.
Kingibe, who won the FCT senatorial seat under the Labour Party in 2023, described her decision to join the ADC as a “deliberate and strategic political move.”
“I am leaving the Labour Party, but I have not done so officially,” she said.
“I will defect, and I will be defecting with other senators,” Kingibe added, disclosing that her decision was driven by two key reasons: the party’s internal factionalization and her suspension a few months ago.
