The Honourable member representing Nsukka East State Constituency in the Enugu State House of Assembly, Engr. Dr Pius Onyekachi Ezugwu has stated that his defection from the Labour Party (LP) to the ruling Peoples Democratic Government in the state, is in the interest of his constituents.

Dr Ezugwu told newsmen in Enugu over the weekend that he decamped from the LP to PDP in order to bring his people into the developmental agenda of the state.

“When the government is working, there is no need for opposition. To ensure my constituency is part of the development in Enugu State, I decided to join forces with the government.

“This decision was made in the best interest of my constituency, to ensure we are included in the ongoing projects,” he told journalists.

In March 2024, six members of the Labour Party in the Enugu State House of Assembly decamped to PDP.

It could be recalled that the Labour Party, LP, which galvanised members and supporters in the building up to the 2023 general elections have become a shadow of itself in view of seemingly intractable leadership impairments that have engulfed the party both at state, regional and federal levels.
