In another blow to the Labour Party (LP), a member of the House of Representatives, Nkemkanma Kama, representing Ohaozara, Onicha, and Ivo Federal Constituency of Ebonyi State, has officially resigned from the party.
Kama announced his decision in a letter addressed to the Ward Chairman of the Labour Party in Amaze Ward, located in Ishiagu Community, Ivo Local Government Area.
The letter cited extensive consultations as the basis for his departure.
“I wish to express my sincere gratitude to the Labour Party for the platform given to me to contest and win the last general election as the House of Representatives member under its banner,” Kama wrote.
He explained that the move came after engaging in wide-ranging discussions with his family, political allies, and supporters.
“After careful consideration,” he said, “I concluded that the step was necessary for the greater good of his people.”
Though Kama has not disclosed his next political destination, there is strong speculation that he may be heading to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
DAILY GAZETTE reports that Kama’s resignation follows an internal leadership crisis within the Labour Party that has seen several of its members defect to other political platforms in recent months.
