Bassey Akiba, the representative for Calabar Municipality/Odukpani Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, has dumped the Labour Party (LP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Akiba, who also serves as the Deputy Chairman of the House Committee on Healthcare Services, announced his defection on Friday, citing alignment with the APC’s vision and leadership as a key factor in his decision.

Akiba expressed gratitude to his former party but emphasized that his move to the APC was driven by a desire to better serve his constituents and contribute to the nation’s development.

The Labour Party has yet to release an official statement regarding Akiba’s defection, but insiders suggest the move may prompt a reevaluation of its strategy in the region. ment

With Akiba’s defection, the APC continues to strengthen its presence in the South-South geopolitical zone, a region traditionally dominated by opposition parties.

. Yes ooo no Igbo man will ever rule this country. Instead let all of Nigerians perish in hunger and poverty. One party system is good for our democracy as long as igbos are kept down and subjugated

And he won't lose his seat because losing seat is only for any elected member from rivers state that defected to another , according to illiterate Obidients

na u n your family go perish in hunger n poverty

Igbo land that Igbos are ruling have u turned it to paradise instead it has turned to economic desert that u must leave to go hustle if u take your life serious

If Igbos can make all Nigerians run to Igbo land the way Igbos run to other regions then we can make them lead us

Imagine an homeless destitute man mocking a man that has house

That's what u Igbos are doing

. We are saying the same thing bro. Igbo land is poverty stricken land with no economic value while the rest of Nigeria is filled with renewed hope and economic prosperity

Igbo land is poverty capital of Nigeria while Yoruba land and Hausa land are richer than America and Japan
