Abia House of Reps Member Defects To Labour Party
The Member representing Aba North/Aba South Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Alex Ikwechegh Mascot, has officially defected to the Labour Party, marking a significant political shift in Abia State.
Hon. Ikwechegh, popularly known as Onyeocha N’Aba, confirmed his move following his recent resignation from the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA). Shortly after declaring for the Labour Party, the federal lawmaker met with the Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, in what observers describe as a strategic political engagement.
While the details of their closed-door meeting were not immediately disclosed, political analysts believe the development signals a strengthening of the Labour Party’s structure in Aba and across Abia State.
Ikwechegh, who was elected into the House of Representatives to represent Aba North and South Federal Constituency, has remained a visible figure in constituency projects and legislative activities. His defection is expected to reshape political alignments in the commercial city of Aba, where he commands significant grassroots influence.
