In a major political shake-up in Abia State, Honourable Sunday Anya Ojo, popularly known as “School Boy,” has officially dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the Labour Party (LP), leading hundreds of his loyal supporters in a mass defection.

The event, which took place on Sunday, April 13, 2025, at the residence of the Deputy Governor of Abia State, Engr Ikechukwu Emetu, in Amaekpu Ohafia, attracted a large turnout of party faithful and supporters.

Speaking at the event, he did not mince words in declaring the PDP’s dwindling influence in the state.

“I decided to dump PDP for the Labour Party and to also inform them that PDP in Abia State is dead and gone. PDP is in a sorry state right now—in fact, PDP is in the mortuary. I’m now in LP with my entire political structure,” he said.

The Deputy Governor, Engr. Emetu, who received the decampees with warmth and excitement, described the move as a welcome development that further strengthens the Labour Party’s dominance in the state. He commended Hon. Ojo for his bold decision and assured him and his followers of full integration into the party’s fold.

The defection of Hon. Sunday Anya Ojo and his large support base is viewed as a major boost for the Labour Party in Ohafia and a clear sign of the shifting political dynamics in Abia State, particularly as the 2027 elections draw closer.
