The Labour Party has lost one of its Senators.
Ireti Kingibe, the Senator representing the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, has dumped the LP for the African Democratic Congress, ADC, the choice Political Party of the opposition which has formed a Coalition it says will stop President Bola Tinubu from getting a second term in 2027.
Kingibe is one of the only four female Senators in the Senate.
Even though she has no ADC registration card yet, the Senator told his loyalists that his commitment to the Party is unwavering
She confirmed her exit from the LP when she spoke to Journalists in Abuja where she, also, expressed confidence in the focus of her new Party.
She said: ” As a Senator, I am fully committed to ADC. However, as the Senator representing the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, I don’t expect you to just hand me a card”, meaning that she was yet to receive her official membership card of the ADC. But she emphasized her full commitment to the Party.
Kingibe, a first time Senator was married to Babagana Kingibe, a former Secretary to the Federal Government, who was also a former Minister and the running mate to the late Chief Moshood Abiola in the ill-fated June 12, 1993 Presidential Election.
