Ogie Samson Oritsebemigho, and Secretary, Prince Charles Ebigbagha. The document, signed by several prominent members, cites a series of unprofessional and self-serving activities orchestrated by these individuals, which have plunged the Forum into a major internal crisis.

Earlier Tuesday, Hon. Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu, the member representing Ethiope Federal Constituency, publicly announced her defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) before a group of people in Oghara, Ethiope West LGA of Delta State. What she thought could have been a significant political move for her has already lost its luster. Her defection, which she hoped would generate attention, didn’t get any significant attention.  As a matter of fact, the supposed leader of the Delta APC, holding the highest political position from the state wasn’t even on ground to receive her alongside other notable leaders of the party which signifies that her defection was not even a welcome one on the other side. In her earlier statement dripping with half-hearted emotion, she claimed her resignation was “foisted on me by my complete exclusion by the state chapter of the party”. Yet, this is the same PDP that handed her a ticket to the Nation...
