House of Representatives member for Aniocha-Oshimili area of Delta State, Hon Chief Ngozi Okolie, weekend, announced his decision to resign his membership of the Labour Party (LP), saying the internal crisis rocking the LP has robbed the party of meaningful progress.
He explained that his resignation from the party, which shot him into national political prominence in 2023 as a member of the National Assembly, was neither spontaneous nor selfish but rather arrived at after due consultation with different segments of his constituency and outside it, including traditional rulers, community leaders and party members and political associates.
He admitted that the decision to abandon the LP did not go down well with some of the people in his constituency he had consulted, most of the people however threw their weight behind him.
