The Labour Party Aspirant for the Anambra South Senatorial By-election,
Sir (Barr.) Donald Chidi Amamgbo (Okosisii Ihiala) has dumped Party for African Democratic Congress (ADC).
In a release signed by himself and made available to Newsmen in Awka, Don Amamgbo called on Anambra South constituents to rally round the new party ADC.
The statement read in part
‘The ADC for a new era of representation.My dear people of Anambra South Senatorial District,
‘In the spirit of truth, accountability, and service to our people, I, Sir Barr. Don Chidi Amamgbo (Okosisii Ihiala) humbly wishes to inform you of a significant step in our collective journey to renew hope and restore dignity to the people of Anambra South.
‘After deep personal reflection and extensive consultations with my family, supporters, and political associates, I have officially resigned my membership of the Labour Party as of July 4, 2025, due to irreconcilable structural failures, internal divisions, and a leadership vacuum that has made it impossible to pursue the urgent task of rebuilding our district under its platform.
‘The Labour Party, which once held promise, has become deeply enmeshed in rancorous legal battles, factional struggles, and a breakdown of trust, all of which threaten to derail the aspirations of millions of Nigerians yearning for a better tomorrow. These internal crises have sadly rendered the party incapable of offering credible direction or leadership to its candidates and supporters.
‘In light of this, and with the unwavering goal of providing effective, visionary, and people-centered representation to the good people of Ihiala, Nnewi, Aguata, Orumba, Ekwusigo, and across the entire Anambra South Senatorial District, I have taken the bold step to continue this journey of public service under the umbrella of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
‘The ADC represents a party of stability, equity, and innovation; a platform where the voice of the people can truly be amplified. I am encouraged by the caliber of patriotic Nigerians who have found a political home within the ADC and I invite all my loyal supporters, volunteers, youth mobilizers, women leaders, community stakeholders, and the entire electorate of Anambra South to join me in this new phase of our campaign.
‘This movement is not about party labels. It is about you, the people, the traders in Nnewi, the farmers in Orumba, the artisans in Ihiala, the entrepreneurs in Ekwusigo, the students in Uli, the elders in Osumenyi, the young mothers in Oko, and every soul that desires change that is genuine, inclusive, and sustainable.
‘I remain fully committed to our shared dream of prosperity, justice, and impactful representation. Together, let us channel our energies, resources, and collective will into building a winning coalition under the ADC; a platform that welcomes us with open arms and gives us the space to lead and serve without fear or distraction.
‘In a situation that seems like a coincidence, Amamgbo Donald Chidi (ADC) is now in the African Democratic Congress (ADC), representing a stunning coincidence from ADC to ADC.
‘Let the new chapter begin.
Let the torch of hope burn brighter.Let Anambra South rise. Support the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Support Sir Donald Chidi Amamgbo.
Support New Possibilities,’ he concluded.
