“The defection of Hon. Lucky Udoka Nweke Johnson to the Labour Party is a testament to the fact that true progressives are aligning to move Abia State forward. His decision to leave behind the deeply divided PDP and join a movement committed to good governance and real development is highly commendable,” Ahia stated.
He further assured Hon. Lucky Udoka of the Labour Party’s commitment to transparency, inclusive governance, and policies aimed at ensuring a better future for all Abians. According to him, the move strengthens the party’s growing dominance in the state legislature and signals a broader realignment in Abia politics.
The legal luminary urged other well-meaning leaders to take a cue from Hon. Lucky Nweke’s bold move and join forces in ensuring that the transformation of Abia State, under Governor Otti’s administration, continues unhindered.
