The lawmaker who represents the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in the Senate, Senator Ireti Kingibe has formally defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Naijaonpoint reports that the lawmaker’s official registration with the opposition party is scheduled for Thursday (today) at the ADC national headquarters in Wuse, Abuja.
This was confirmed in a statement released on Wednesday by the Senator’s media aide, Kennedy Mbele.
He stated that the move marked Kingibe’s exit from the Labour Party (LP) and her entry into the ADC.
The statement noted that the registration ceremony will be attended by senior party officials, ADC candidates contesting the February 21 FCT area council elections, party supporters, and members of the media.
“Kingibe’s bold step of joining the ADC makes her the only serving senator in the new but vibrant opposition party,” Mbele said.
